You can also use Benzoyl peroxide 5% lotion or gel once at bedtime. An amount of lotion the size of a pea should be enough to cover most of your face. If your skin becomes red or peels, you are using too much of the medicine or applying it too often.

Avatar m tn Now I am 20 and I am Male. I used to take some ointments(clindamycin,benzoyl peroxide) but that had only temporary effects. Of late, I have started taking medications on the advice of a doctor who says that I have reached the Gr.IV satge of acne. It is given as follows: Isotretinoin 20 mg twice daily, body weight being 50 kg. Adapalene and Clindamycin gel on the face But there I have developed some side-effects like: Loss of apetite, dehydration.
Avatar f tn If you are having inflammatory acne then tetracycline or doxycycline or minocycline; benzoyl peroxide 5% gel; azelaic acid 20% cream; clindamycin 1% lotion or cream; erythromycin 2% gel or cream. If you are having recalcitrant acne in women then probably oral contraceptive containing norgestimate 0.25 mg and ethinyl estradiol 0.035 mg; spironolactone; prednisone. If you have acne where sweating is an aggravating factor then aluminum chloride solution should be your choice of your treatment.
Avatar n tn I had some folliculitis on both thighs, and I applied some benzoyl peroxide on Thursday to help clear it up. On Friday, in the exact areas where I applied the benzoyl peroxide, I now have a rash that has developed. Is it possible to have an allergic reaction to benzoyl peroxide? How long would this type of rash take to go away?
Avatar n tn Infact I had one that matured and dried out. But this one seems to be hard and big and red. Also my lip is swollen in that area. This problem has now lasted for 2 days and seems to worsen and pains! Any suggestion on how I can bring this swelling down and the bump on my lip? Is is not a pimple? Can I buy any over the counter medicne for this problem?
Avatar f tn I applied the hydroquinone to a small mark on my face to try and fade it but I already had benzoyl peroxide cream on my face and now I have a stained circle of reddish/pink on my face. It’s been a few months now and it still hasn’t gone away. I’ve been using a vitamin c dark spot corrector for about a week now and I’m considering getting it lasered from a dermatologist. Would a laser help??
Avatar f tn I'm 7 weeks now and having acne on my jawline and chin. Its lot of tiny ones and its kinda frustrating. Is it safe to.use 2.5% benzoyl peroxide ointment twice daily?
Avatar f tn Has anyone had experience of benzoyl peroxide being more effective than salicylic acid for flat warts?
Avatar n tn I though it was my moisturizer(loreal for dry skin 48hrs) so I switched to different moisturizers (cetaphil/jojoba oil/almond oil) and that helped but there are still quite a few bumps. Benzoyl peroxide helps for a little while but them stops working. Salicylic acid makes them worse. The problem is that they itch so i pick at them and make then many times worse. I don't know what to try anymore. I'm using witch hazel in lavender and that helps calm my skin but the bumps persist.

Other treatment options include topical and oral antibiotics, topical retinoids, hormonal therapy, dermabrasion , phototherapy and laser resurfacing. Normally a combination of treatments is followed and if nothing proves effective then dermabrasion and laser therapy are useful. You can discuss these treatment options with your dermatologist.
Avatar n tn Using a mild shampoo and conditioner can help. Experts also recommend the use of showering frequently with benzoyl peroxide cleanser and shampoo and applying a benzoyl peroxide gel afterwards to the affected area. It is important to keep the area clean and dry as much as possible. Tee Tree Oil is one natural product that has been effective to prevent infection and future breakouts.

Avatar f tn m n my 5th week now and for years I have been using proactive facewash, content s benzoyl peroxide and another acne ointment. Does it affect my pregnancy anyway.
Avatar m tn The first product was a salicylic acid foam cleanser, the second was a salicylic toner, and the third was a benzoyl peroxide lotion. (I have used salicylic acid before, so I don't think that was the cause of the reaction.) After two days of use, my skin was extremely dry and my eyes were swollen. I stopped using the benzoyl peroxide, but continued with the salicylic acid because I was out of town with no other products. After six days, I stopped using the products entirely.
Avatar m tn I went to my physician the other day, and instead of prescribing me dynacin which he usually does for the past year or so, he told me to get an over the counter Benzoyl Peroxide wash, and that my acne was so mild that dynacin wasn't needed anymore. Before the trip to the doctor, I washed my skin once a day with Clearasil Sacrylic Acid (2%) acne scrub and took the Dynacin (100mg, twice a day).
