Benzoyl peroxide allergy treatments?

Stop using.: Benzoyl peroxide allergy is pretty rare. When it happens we simply stop the product, and the rash usually resolves without any further treatment.

A member asked:

I find things like benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid spot treatments aren't helping my pimples fade faster. So, instead I use drying treatments. This does kind of help my breakouts, although it sometimes makes my face dry and itchy; suggestions?

Are brown and red hyperpigmentations from acne and benzoyl peroxide (burn) permenant ? How long does it takes for my skin to return to an even tone and what topical treatments help? I currently stopped using BP and uses retinol and moisturizer daily.
