im am currently using erythromycin benzoyl peroxide
the problem was is that i cant wear it in the morning cause the solution is chunky
so when i put it on it looks like i was playing with glue on my hand and put it on my face
so i cant go outside with it on
im wodering if its sopose to be chunkie
i cant blend it to my skin to make it disapear it just stays on like that
all chunky on my face
also the worst part is that i was not told to put this in the fridge and i didnt read the instruction when i got it i just simply opened it and closed it and put it away the next day i read the instructions on how to aply and i had to mix the ingredients( it had no pouder to mix it looked mixed already i mixed it up it stayed looking chunkie and i put it on the fridge
so is it sopose to be chunky?
is my solution messed up?
can i go back to the pharmacy and ask them if they can switch it
is it possible to switch it?

The answerer above me is correct. The pharmacy always mixes mine, it is never chunky and it should blend into your skin without leaving a white residue. I would call the pharmacy or take it back in and ask them what to do or if they can fix it.

The pharmacy is supposed to mix it before they sell it to you. But no it's not supposed to be chunky. What you need to do is take the little plastic stick that came with it and keep stirring it until it looks like a normal cream. Add a teeny bit of water if you need to. Also, call the pharmacy and ask why they didn't mix it. They probably won't switch it or take it back since it left the pharmacy and you mixed it. We always mixed it for our patients right when they were picking it up.

sounds like the Pharmacist mixed it with rubbing alcohol (isopropyl 70%) instead of ethanol. The mixing instructions are quite specific, and they IGNORED them.
Come to my pharmacy. I use Everclear and it comes out smooth as can be.

this is why instructions are printed, you read them BEFORE the fact.
yes, you messed up. call the pharmacy and ask what can be done.
