I've been using Benzaclin Topical Gel for a couple of weeks now, and while it seems to be helping my acne, I'm a bit worried about the potential side effects. The package insert mentions some serious issues like diarrhea and allergic reactions. I'm curious if anyone else has experienced these or other side effects. How do you manage them? Has anyone had to stop using it because of them? I want to make sure I'm not missing any important signs to watch out for.

I didn’t have any side effects! I swear by this stuff. I use it and I don't wash it off until the next morning. My skin is clear and it's amazing

I had a weird rash after using this. I assumed it was a reaction to the gel. I'm scared to try anything new now. Is it safe to transition to a new treatment?

I never thought I'd deal with bloody diarrhea from a skin gelatin - but here I am. My skin is clear, but I'm scared to keep using it. Does anyone know what can be done to prevent this?

I got really bad burning and itching. I might try a lower dose.

I've had good luck with this I had some local irritation at the beginning, but it went away and this stuff is the only thing to clear my skin, I highly recommend it

This stuff saved me, I tried everything else the doctor gave me. I never experienced any major side effects
