Hello,
Benzacilin gel is a topical treatment for acne and dry skin, pruritis, peeling and erythema are side effects of this drug. Ulcerative colitis is unknown to be caused by this topical drug.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
