A member asked:
Can i use benzoyl peroxide, the liquid kind, on mild/ severe back acne?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sure: The cream is better, and this is unlikely to be effective for any but the very mildest trunk acne. Usually this requires systemic prescription-strength medication from your physician.
