Hi is bumpy skin texture while using benzoyl peroxide normal? i am on my third day of using 10% bpo cleanser and my skin texture turned visibly bumpy (not acne, bumps?

Benzoyl peroxide causes dry skin not bumps. Your skin may be to sensitive to this lotion. I would suggest a rest for several days then try a milder lotion 5% as a trial.
