Can I Safely Use Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5% Ointment?

Patient's Query

Can I use benzoyl peroxide 2.5% concentration ointment

Answered by Dr. Deepak Jakhar

The typical usage of Benzoyl peroxide 2.5% ointment is for acne treatment. It can be of tremendous use in getting rid of the microorganisms on the skin surface that could cause acne eruptions. Overproduction of oil, clogged pores, and bacteria are the most rampant causes of acne. Benzoyl peroxide when used as prescribed by a dermatologist will help decrease the number of bacteria on the skin, which in turn will aid in the improvement of the acne symptoms.

Psoriasis is a common skin disorder that causes red, scaly patches. It happens when the immune system overacts, leading to faster skin cell growth. Symptoms include itching and dryness. Treatments include creams, ointments, and medications to relieve symptoms. Remember to moisturize and avoid triggers like stress and certain foods.

I’m 26 years old female I’m getting still acne and it is becoming very flat red spots like post inflammatory erythema? What should I do ?

Female | 26

This condition may develop when acne is no longer severe and it may take time to naturally disappear. To aid the process, you may wash the area of your skin with a cleanser, be careful not to pick or get acne pimples, use oil-free moisturizers, and apply products with ingredients such as niacinamide or vitamin C. Bear in mind that the redness would need time to go before it finally disappears.

Am 35 year old Getting white head like pimples on forehead

Female | 35

Those whiteheads on your forehead are probably a type of acne called comedones. The hair follicles become blocked with oil and dead skin cells. Skin conditions can be accompanied by small, white bumps. One way is to use mild face washes with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide which can help remedy the clogged pores.

Allergic reactions to antibiotics are a common issue, resulting in itching or welts on the body. It is essential to stop using the antibiotic at once and see a doctor. An allergist or an immunologist is going to be able to diagnose and manage the allergy.
