A member asked:
I slept with a 10% benzoyl peroxide gel and it burned my face, what can i do to help and heal it a bit faster? and will it go away soon? or scar ?

Takes time: When these products burn/irritate you need to avoid them for a week or so. The injury is shallow so it would not be expected to scar. Using a moisturizer you trust will help some while it heals. After it does you might try it again as a timed (few hours) application every other day, then every day if that produces no benefit.
