A member asked:
Can benzoyl peroxide actually work for acne, pimples, and blackheads?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Benzoyl peroxide does work for inflammatory lesions. There are so many different concentrations and preparations of benzoyl peroxide available it is hard to recommmend without seeing the patient. It works less well for blackheads and whiteheads. See your dermatologist.
