Treatment Information

Table of contents:

What Is Zineryt Lotion?

Zineryt lotion is a topical acne treatment that contains an antibiotic called erythromycin.

The antibiotic kills the bacteria associated with acne, allowing the skin to heal itself naturally. The solution contains zinc to help the skin absorb the medicine and improve its healing capabilities.

With help from PrescriptionDoctor, you can say goodbye to irritating acne.

After answering some medical questions via an online questionnaire, we'll put you in touch with one of our healthcare professionals to discuss acne treatments with you.

Unlike acne creams, Zineryt does not come ready-made. Our pharmacist will pre-mix the chemicals before sending them to you. Once mixed, the medicine has a shelf life of between 5 and 8 weeks.

Zineryt is only available on prescription in the UK. One of our online doctors can issue a private prescription for Zineryt following an online consultation.

How Does Zineryt Treat Acne?

Zineryt contains erythromycin and zinc.

Erythromycin kills acne-causing bacteria.

These bacteria thrive on sebum which builds up in clogged skin pores. The bacteria excrete chemicals that irritate the skin, leading to inflammation.

By reducing the number of bacteria and their harmful excretions, the skin is able to heal.

Zinc enables the skin to heal faster and is used in various treatments, including wound dressings.

How long does Zineryt take to work?

Compared to other acne treatments, such as Oxytetracycline, Zineryt starts to work relatively quickly.

It may take between 10 and 12 weeks of treatment with Zineryt for acne to clear up.

If your acne returns, you may be able to restart treatment with Zineryt. Speak to a doctor about restarting treatment.

If no improvement appears within eight weeks, or if acne worsens, stop using Zineryt and speak to a doctor.

You can message one of our online doctors through your Prescription Doctor account. If you have any concerns about your treatment, you can inform one of our doctors, who can discuss your concerns with you.

How to use Zineryt lotion?

Zineryt comes as a dry powder and a solvent, which need to be mixed together before you can use it.

Our pharmacist will mix the solution for you before they send it so that it's ready to use right away.

One of our online prescribers will instruct you how to use Zineryt, including how much and how often you should use it.

The bottle comes with a special applicator pad built into the cap. The applicator pad makes it easier to evenly apply the lotion to your skin.

Before you use Zineryt, wash the area where you will be applying the solution.

  1. Remove the cap to expose the applicator.
  2. Tip the bottle upside down so that the pad is facing downwards. Let the solution flow onto the pad evenly. Do not squeeze the bottle when you do this.
  3. Hold the pad against your face or skin and gently spread the solution over the infected area. Make sure you cover all the affected areas evenly. You can increase the flow by pressing the pad against your skin. Do not squeeze the bottle.
  4. Once you have applied Zineryt lotion, replace the cap, ensuring it fits tightly to the bottle.

You must take Zineryt for as long as prescribed. Stopping your treatment too soon may cause your infection to come back.

Avoid getting Zineryt solution in the eyes, nose and mouth. If you accidentally get Zineryt in your eyes, nose or mouth, rinse the area with cold water for a few minutes.

Let the Zineryt lotion dry before applying make-up, moisturisers or other skin care products, including other topical treatments.

What should I do if I forget to apply Zineryt lotion when I should?

If you forget to apply Zineryt lotion when you should, use it as soon as you remember.

Do not apply more Zineryt lotion to make up for the missed dose. Leave 3 hours before you use it again.

Forgetting to use Zineryt can slow down the healing process.

What should I do if I apply too much Zineryt lotion?

If you accidentally apply too much Zineryt lotion, wipe the excess away with a tissue.

Zineryt side effects and cautions

All medicines carry the risk of side effects. It is imperative to educate yourself on the possible side effects of the medication you are taking so that you can identify a problem and consult a medical professional.

You can view the patient information leaflet for Zineryt online as a PDF, which you can download or print off if you need to.

If you have questions about the Zineryt or your condition, feel free to speak to one of our doctors online.

  • Are allergic to zinc, erythromycin, or any of the other ingredients
  • Are allergic to macrolide antibiotics (erythromycin, azithromycin, clarithromycin)

If you are unsure whether Zineryt is safe for you, ask your doctor or a pharmacist.

Zineryt should be discarded eight weeks after it is made up. You should set a reminder on your phone or mark a date in a calendar to remind you to throw away the expired medicine.

Never throw away medicine via household or water waste. Take any unwanted or expired medication to your local pharmacy and ask them to dispose of it safely on your behalf.

10 foods to avoid if you want clear skin

There is a lot of information and misinformation circulating on the Internet regarding the correlation between nutrition and diet and acne. While the debate rages on about specific foods that cause acne and what, precisely, the causal relationship may be, there are some foods more widely believed to affect skin health, including the formation of acne, than others. These are some of the biggest offenders.1. Milk and Dairy ProductsMilk and dairy products are often cited as public enemy number one when it comes to acne. They often contain high levels of hormones that promote oil production, which leads to blocked pores.What products are included in this list? Probably some of your favourites, including:MilkButterIce creamCheeseYoghurtCreamCurdNot only are dairy products common foods in themselves, but they are often used as ingredients in favourite meals and must be avoided on all levels. Fortunately, many non-dairy alternatives on the market allow you to experience milk products without unwanted skin consequences.2. Alcoholic BeveragesAlcohol is an inflammatory that exacerbates existing skin conditions, like acne, causing more breakouts. Combine that with the fact that many exotic alcoholic beverages and cocktails are loaded with sugary additives. Sugar is pro-inflammatory as well as alcohol, so it's a double whammy for promoting acne, according to A. Vogel. Yet another reason alcohol is bad for skin is that it causes dehydration. This, in turn, forces your body to produce more oils, which leads to breakouts.3. Refined CarbohydratesThis includes bread, sugar, white rice, white flour and similar foods. All of them, as mentioned above with sugar, promote inflammation, which can be very bad for people who already have acne-prone skin by increasing the frequency and duration of acne outbreaks.4. High-Glycemic FoodsIn addition to refined carbohydrates, some high-glycemic foods can also contribute to increased inflammation, making it more challenging to control acne. These foods include things like:PotatoesParsnipsCarrotsWatermelonMany of them even appear healthy at first glance, although they can cause significant fluctuations in blood glucose levels that increase inflammation.Instead, look for fruits and vegetables that have lower glycemic index numbers, such as:BroccoliBrussels sproutsCauliflowerArtichokesAsparagusLeafy greensBeansWatercressRadishesWater chestnutsThese foods do not cause wild fluctuations in blood glucose levels and actually help to soothe the skin.5. Fatty FoodsFried foods and those that are highly processed with trans fats often contain cytokines, which are pro-inflammatory and known for causing the skin to become red and blotchy, creating a target-rich environment for blemishes to form.6. Whey Protein PowderThis one isn't often discussed. The dietary supplement, whey protein powder, increases amino acids, such as leucine and glutamine, which grow at a faster rate, contributing to the formation of acne. Healthline reports that studies have indicated a direct link between the consumption of whey protein and acne in male athletes, as well as correlations between the severity and duration of acne outbreaks in those using whey protein supplements.7. Highly Processed Convenience FoodsThis includes a wide variety of foods filled with ingredients that promote skin inflammation, contain unhealthy fats, and have shocking amounts of refined sugars, flours, and other unhealthy ingredients. They may make meal preparation easier and are often budget-friendly, but they are not good for acne-prone skin.8. ChocolateWhile the key ingredient in chocolate is not the primary culprit, milk chocolate and lighter chocolates are significant contributors to promoting acne. WebMD recommends choosing dark chocolate, which is made with less refined sugar and milk, as a better fit for people seeking to clear their skin.9. ChickenAnother shocker on the list of foods not to eat when trying to control acne is chicken.Just like dairy, chicken often contains added hormones that can trigger inflammation, making your skin more susceptible to breakouts.10. CoffeeFor some people, it's the added sugar and dairy they introduce to the coffee that's the problem. For others, it's the "adrenaline" rush that the first cup of coffee in the morning creates that gets you going. Unfortunately, it also boosts the levels of the stress hormone cortisol, creating a ripe condition for ramping up oil production and causing acne.Making small changes to your diet may improve acne by supporting your immune system and boosting your overall health. However, there is currently no substantial evidence to prove that certain foods cause acne.Acne is no laughing matter for those who struggle with it continuously. In addition to making dietary changes that eliminate the foods listed above, consider consulting with your doctor about acne treatments that are suitable for you.

How to use tea tree oil for acne

Acne is not just something that affects hormonal teenagers; adults can suffer, too. It has nothing to do with age, and there are a number of reasons for it. It can occur due to diet, hormone imbalances, skin bacteria, stress, and blocked pores. It could be a combination of these things or just one of them, but the result is the same – lots of spots that not only look unpleasant but can also be sore and itchy. Additionally, for those who suffer, it is crucial to take extra care of their skin.The truth is that tea tree oil may work – studies show that at 5% strength, it can have an effect – but it is often less effective than other medicines that are specifically designed to treat acne. However, since it is seen as a ‘natural’ product, many people still like to try it to treat their acne.It is finding the 5% concentration that often proves to be a problem. In most chemists and supermarkets, the concentration tends to be listed as around 0.5%, which is not concentrated enough to make any difference to your acne (even assuming tea tree oil makes a difference at all). You might have better luck searching in health food shops, where the concentration can be as high as 3%, but again, it might still not be enough.Be cautious when searching for higher concentrations of tea tree oil; selecting too high a concentration can irritate your skin even more, and rather than having a soothing effect, it may exacerbate the symptoms of your acne, leading to inflammation and soreness.How to use Tea Tree Oil?First, use a gentle cleaning wash to clean your face. This will leave the skin as fresh as possible, while removing any dirt and dead skin cells that would otherwise clog your pores, which can cause irritation. Exfoliation can also be beneficial, provided you don't use products that might further irritate your skin. If you suffer from recurrent acne, washing your face with a specialist formula daily is important, regardless of whether you use tea tree oil or not.Once you have washed your face, you can begin using tea tree oil. The amount and method of application will vary between brands and formulations. Some tea tree oil products may need to be diluted in water before use; others may be in gel form, which can be applied directly to the skin. Always check the label for instructions on how to use the product.A common instruction on how to use tea tree oil is to apply a few drops – diluted if necessary – of the oil onto a cotton wool pad and gently dab it onto your face. You should feel a soothing sensation when you do this. Alternatively, take some moisturiser and add a few drops of tea tree oil to it before applying it all over your face.If you notice signs of irritation or experience an allergic reaction to the oil, stop using it immediately. Wash the product off your face and consult your doctor for advice.It is also possible to buy tea tree oil that is already mixed into a facial wash. These do tend to have much lower concentrations but can be a good way to calm the skin if your acne is particularly sore and painful. Some of these products may also contain exfoliation beads, which gently scrub the skin to remove dead skin cells, which might further worsen your acne.There are many complimentary and natural "treatments" for acne, though they may not all work. Be sure to speak to your doctor or a dermatologist before using tea tree oil to treat your acne. Alternatively, your doctor may prescribe an anti-acne treatment that contains salicylic acid, which reduces oil production and skin shedding. You may find these prescription acne treatments provide more effective relief in a shorter space of time.Before using any new skin product, perform a patch test to determine if you are allergic to any of its ingredients. You should also consider consulting your doctor or a dermatologist for advice on how to reduce your acne symptoms in other ways, such as exercising, managing stress, or taking precautionary measures during certain seasons.

What causes 'bacne' and how is it treated?

When you think of acne, you will probably think of spots and pustules on your face. However, this is not the only place where acne can appear; it can actually affect any area of the body that has hair follicles or oil-secreting glands. These areas include the chest, shoulders, and back.'Bacne', as back acne is colloquially known, affects as many as 60% of people, but it is not often discussed. Whereas facial acne (which affects up to 95% of people aged between 11 and 30) is obvious and cannot be hidden, back acne is easy to hide away and, therefore, can be forgotten about for the most part, or at least not dealt with. However, this ‘out of sight, out of mind’ mindset regarding back acne is not helpful; there are ways that back acne can be treated, and the sooner you start using them, the better.What Causes back acne?Just like your face, your back has many sebaceous glands. These glands secrete an oily substance called sebum, which helps to ensure the hair and skin remain properly moisturised. It is made up of free fatty acids, triglycerides, squalene, cholesterol, cholesterol esters, and wax esters. It is an invaluable part of the body.However, when sebum rises to the surface of the skin, it mixes with lipids, sweat, and various debris from the surrounding environment. When this happens, the oil starts to block the pores of the skin and the hair follicles on your body. When the hair follicles become too clogged, they form an acne lesion.Different Types of Back AcneThe term ‘back acne’ actually covers a wide range of different-looking spots and marks. Although they are all caused by blocked follicles and pores, the reasons they emerge differently are varied.WhiteheadsWhiteheads are the most common type of back acne. Rather than erupting, the blocked follicle remains closed and therefore resembles a white bump on the skin.BlackheadsConversely, when a follicle opens up, it forms a blackhead. The reason the head of the spot turns black is because the sebum is reacting with the air – it has nothing to do with dirt, and you cannot ‘scrub’ a blackhead ‘clean’.PapulesIf the acne you are experiencing is sore and appears as small, pink bumps, you have papules.PustulesAnother term for a pustule is a pimple, a term you may be familiar with. As the original name suggests, these are filled with pus, so they look white or yellow, and the base is red.CystsCysts are also pus-filled, but they are much larger than pustules and can be extremely painful. If treated improperly or if they are picked or scratched, they can leave scars.NodulesSometimes, acne lesions don’t make it to the surface of the skin, and those that form deeper down are called nodules. These feel like hard bumps, and they are rather large and painful.How To Treat Back AcneAs with most medical conditions, it is best to try to prevent back acne in the first place. Although this is not always possible, there are some measures you can take that may help.To start, check the leaflets and labels of any medications you are taking. Some drugs can list the development of acne as a side effect. If that is the case, it is best to consult a healthcare professional about alternative medications that you may be able to take. Remember, though, that although back acne can be uncomfortable, if the medication is doing you good, it might be something you choose to live with to feel better in every other aspect of your life.Oil-based skin care products can also be an issue, as adding more oil to already oily skin can cause your follicles to become blocked more easily. Search for oil-free products, including moisturisers and sun protection. Check the labels of anything you intend to use; if it claims to be non-comedogenic, it means that it won’t cause blackheads, for example.Pressure on your back from carrying a bag or sports equipment can also cause your hair follicles to become blocked. If you carry equipment or a backpack for long periods, try to reduce this.Good skin care is another way of reducing acne (and not just back acne, but wherever you happen to have it). Regularly use a gentle cleanser to wash yourself, and always take a shower after any form of exercise, particularly if you are sweaty.If you still experience back acne, there are over-the-counter treatments available that can help. These will include ingredients such as sulphur, resorcinol, salicylic acid, and benzoyl peroxide.If none of the above has helped you, you will need to seek advice from a dermatologist. They will be able to prescribe medication to reduce and even remove any signs of back acne.

Natural ways to control your acne

Acne can be frustrating when you're a teenager in high school. However, as an adult, it just seems too cruel to be true. When you are a teenager, most people understand that hormones are responsible for the many changes going on, including the acne you may be experiencing.  However, in many cases, once your hormones stabilise, you will no longer experience as many problems with acne.It is more common than people realise, but adults do suffer from acne, too.  In many of these cases, hormones are still to blame.However, it is possible to improve adult acne.  It is important to look at what you are eating, and then the goal is to stabilise your hormones.Here are some ways to do this:Consume less meatSome meat is full of hormones that do not belong to you but instead come from the animal source.  Cut back on meat, and you will reduce the level of foreign hormones in your system.Consume less dairyDairy, like meat, is full of hormones that do not belong to you.  Avoid excess consumption of dairy products.  Nowadays, you can find dairy substitutions for most regular dairy products.Lessen your stress levelsReducing stress levels in your body can help regulate your hormones.  Exercise is a great stress reliever.  Meditation, prayer, or simply having quiet time to unwind can all improve stress levels in the body.Consume less sugarSugar can cause insulin spikes in the body.  This excess insulin can lead to numerous damaging conditions that are harmful to the body.  Avoid sugar and opt for natural sweeteners instead.  Agave nectar and stevia are good alternatives.  The less sugar you eat, the less you will need as your body adjusts to the changes.  Consume fresh whole foodsThe more natural your diet, the healthier you and your hormonal system will be.  Opt for whole grains such as brown rice, and eat plenty of beans and green vegetables. Opt for natural foods, such as vegetables, and avoid processed foods. Consume less saltToo much salt can be damaging to the body and, in turn, to your hormones.  Yes, you do need salt, but not in the quantities that us Brits are accustomed to in our diets. Excess salt can increase the risk of other health conditions, such as high blood pressure.  Gradually adjust your palate to eating less salt.  Like sugar, the less you eat, the less you’ll crave it.Improving adult acne is possible.  The key is to get your hormones under control, and the best way to do this is by eating less meat and dairy, reducing stress through several methods, and eating whole, unrefined foods.  If, for any reason, you continue to have problems with acne, then you should seek the help of a natural health practitioner or medical doctor.

Control your hormones; control your acne

There is no doubt that out-of-control hormones can lead to acne. Hence, if you can control the hormones, it may also help control the acne.But just how do you balance the hormones in the body? Here are two big ways:1. DietMany of us have an excess of unhealthy hormones in our bodies.  Many of these hormones do not even belong to us!  Instead, we ingest them through our consumption of meat and dairy products.If you're serious about controlling your hormones, the first place to start is with your diet. By reducing the amount of meat and dairy that you consume, you can reduce the level of excess hormones.Instead of regular milk, opt for soy or rice milk, and include several vegetarian meals in your weekly diet.  Avoid using cheese, other dairy products, and meat on a regular basis. Instead, use meat and dairy in moderation.Additionally, be mindful of the foods you eat. Additives, chemicals, and preservatives can all be very damaging to your hormonal system.  Instead of eating junk food or pre-packaged foods, choose fresh, natural, whole foods. These foods will help keep your body functioning at its best and regulate your hormones.Reducing sugar is also necessary to help control the hormones. Excess use of sugar can cause severe insulin spikes in the body. This will lead to an overproduction of certain hormones, which have been shown to damage both the body and skin.2. Reduce stress in your bodyAnother way to regulate hormone levels in your body is through exercise. Many suffer from pent-up stress, and this stress can wreak havoc on the body's hormonal systems. Regular, vigorous exercise helps reduce stress and, in turn, controls the hormones in the body.Meditation has also been proven to reduce stress levels in the body. Start slowly and simply sit in a quiet space for a few minutes. Concentrate on your breathing, and imagine yourself relaxing into your body.  The idea is simply to let your body and mind rest for a few minutes each day.Prayer has also been shown to improve overall health. Like meditation, it allows you quiet time. By allowing a higher power into your life, you can let go of the things you cannot control.To conclude, getting your hormones under control means you can also manage your acne effectively. The above tips will help you get started.
