Erythrasma is typically treated with topical antiseptics or antibiotics like fusidic acid cream, clindamycin solution, benzoyl peroxide, or Whitfield ointment. For more extensive cases, oral antibiotics such as erythromycin or tetracycline are often effective.

🩺 Treatment Options

  • Topical treatments: fusidic acid cream, clindamycin solution, benzoyl peroxide, Whitfield ointment (3% salicylic acid, 6% benzoic acid in petrolatum)
  • Oral antibiotics for widespread infection: erythromycin (commonly 250 mg twice daily for 5–7 days), tetracycline, or clarithromycin as a single dose
  • Photodynamic therapy with red light has also been used in some cases

💊 Available Medication

  • Bengel AC 2.5% Gel is a topical option that can be applied directly to the affected area; it does not require a prescription.

It is important to consult a dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis and get a tailored treatment plan. If you want, I can explain the treatment details further.
