A member asked:
What are some contraindications for benzoyl peroxide?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Very Few: Topical benzoyl peroxide is usually prescribed for the treatment of acne. When used as directed, it is a safe medication. The only real contradiction is any known allergies to the drug or the other chemicals and preservatives in the product.
