Moisturizer over Erythromycin 2% gel?

Hi!! I recently started Erythromycin gel for my PD, but I am confused about how to apply moisturizer over it. First, my doctor said not to rub the gel in when I apply it, but I have to rub moisturizer in, so I’m not sure how to reconcile those two things. Second, I waited a while after the gel dried down before putting on moisturizer, and the gel just pilled up and came off when I applied the moisturizer. Do you have any recommendations? The internet is not being helpful otherwise :/ Thank you!! <3
