Mild acne, used benzoyl peroxide 5% gel on entire face overnight for past 2 months twice a week. got red, itchy, burning feeling. now stopped using but skin has red slightly atrophic blotches. is it permanent ? did i give myself chemical burn?

Did your face blister or peel? If not I expect no permanent facial skin damage. The face has a great blood supply for healing.
