FAQs

Q. How should I apply Erythego Gel?

Use it exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Erythego Gel is meant for application on the skin of the face only. It usually needs to be applied once a day. Do not apply more than 1 g. Apply a pea-sized amount once daily to each of the five areas of the face (forehead, chin, nose, each cheek) avoiding the eyes and lips. Spread a very thin layer of the medicine evenly and smoothly on your skin. Remember to wash your hands after applying Erythego Gel.

Q. Can I wear makeup with Erythego Gel?

You should not apply any skin medicines or cosmetics immediately before applying Erythego Gel. You may use these products once the gel has dried.

Q. Why does my face sometimes seem redder after using Erythego Gel?

It has been seen that 1 in 6 patients may experience worsening of redness, flushing, or burning feeling of the skin. Usually, this worsening is seen within the first 2 weeks of starting treatment.

Q. Can I use Erythego Gel every day?
