FAQs
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.

Can I use Erythego Gel every day?
