Benzoyl Peroxide : Short term use of BP may be cosmetically beneficial, but read this: http://www.Skintactix.Com/benzoyl_peroxide_skin_damage.Htm. The long term use of BP has been linked to premature aging of the skin as well as skin cancer, so i would use it cautiously, and only under the care of a dermatologist!

Hi, I picked a spot on the outside of my nose about two weeks ago. It poured thin blood, dripping for a long time. It is difficult to stop it. It is very thin, almost like water.
