I used benzoyl peroxide a couple weeks ago and it became irritated and itchy. over time, it subsided but there's a brown mark left over. i was wondering what to use to safely and quickly heal it. i have sensitive skin and usually no skin problems?

If you continue to use benzoyl peroxide you need to avoid prolonged sun exposure and you have to apply moisturizer with sunscreen when going out. You can find a suitable cream or serum in Amazon for your purse if you want to try. Just type "cream or serum for dark spot" in beauty and personal care section. Many Ambi skincare products are affordable and effective.
