Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic

Erytop gel contains topical clindalycin 1% in a gel base. It is a topical antiacne medication for inflammatory acne(papules or pustules)

Though this would help somewhat but may not be sufficient all by itself to control acne activity.

I would suggest that you see a dermatologist. Your dermatologist might choose to prescribe you an oral antibiotic like Doxycycline or Azithromycin, for inflammatory acne

Erytop gel can be continued for day time use. Night application of a topical retinoid e.g Adapalene or tretinoin is also recommended.

Finally, severe acne might require oral retinoids like isotretinoin. They are the most effective antiacne drugs for severe acne or acne unresponsive to traditional treatment. They should always be taken under the supervision of a dermatologist.
