I have been used benzoyl perpxide on small area of my face after 1 day its become itchy , redness and feeling like burning what can ido am travling ?

Allergic reaction: I would stop using the benzoyl peroxide for a few days and only wash with a gentle soap. When you re-apply it, use small amounts and be sure to moisturize with a lightweight cream that will not clog your pores. If this doesn't help, see your doctor when you return home for better alternative.
