A member asked:
Why did benzoyl peroxide suddenly give me a red itchy and hot rash all over my face? it's gone now but should i see a dermatologist?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wait and watch: Benzoyl peroxide does cause some rash and itchiness sometimes but may appear again but in milder form .You may stop benzoyl peroxide if the reaction is too much and see dermatologist to get his opinion .
