How is it that my acne is suddenly extremely itchy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sensitization: This is said to be due to your becoming allergic to the bacteria that cause it. This is all the more reason to stop neglecting it. If topical benzoyl peroxide as tolerated has not cleared you in two weeks, get with your personal physician. Do this even if those around you have an attitude against your getting scientific care. Best wishes.
