title: [Experiences in dermatologic practice with combined external treatment of acne with benzoyl peroxide and erythromycin].
abstract: Fifty patients consulting my dermatologic practice because of facial papulopustular acne varying from grade I up to grade IV (according to Plewig and Kligman) have been treated with benzoyl peroxide and erythromycin. The more severe cases (grades III and IV) received additional treatment, such as tetracycline or cyproterone acetate internally and/or, externally, removal of comedones as well as UV-A-radiation. As a result, 68 percent of all patients showed remission in at least 70 percent of their inflammatory skin eruptions.
