A member asked:
Can benzoyl peroxide cause diarrhea? i use it on my face very heavily at night to take care of blackheads and wake up early with diarrhea. 15 days now

Wouldn't think so: None of the active ingredients of creams or lotions like BP are absorbed into your blood stream or digestive tract. There would be no way they could cause diarrhea unless you eat the stuff. Look to something you are eating or drinking as a likely trigger.
