A member asked:
I constantly have a red/dry "mustache" on my upper lip. i use benzoyl peroxide and moisturizer daily for acne. what can i do to calm redness?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Benzoyl peroxide may be drying and could cause redness and irritation. Is it possible that your moisturizer has added color or fragrance that is irritating your skin? If the area above your lip really needs daily acne treatment, consider discussing options with a dermatologist.
