A member asked:
I used a benzoyl peroxide wash (2.5%, for 1st time) on my acne and now i have red patches. will they fade away soon? and how can i get rid of them?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stay the course: Keep doing this. The red will be less troublesome over time and you should get a good result with your acne. If you are not obviously better in a few weeks, your physician can add stronger medicine to supplement the benzoyl peroxide.
