Mу back ѕtаrtеd itching pretty bаd аftеr I used thе mοѕt common Acne cream 10% BENZOYL PEROXIDE CLEARASIL frοm Rite Aid.
Whаt ѕhουld I dο аbουt thіѕ аnd саn I υѕе Proactiv οr AcneFree frοm Costco? Whу wουld mу back ѕtаrt itching anyways?
your back is itching because its drying out. the peroxide will dry your skin out.
Either you are having an allergic reaction towards it or the medicine is drying out your skin causing it to get itchy.
some people are allergic to BP, Im one of them.
it can dry it out at first, maybe your using too strong % of BP
try the 5% or better yet, the 2.5%. 10% is too strong for most people who can tolerate it!! try the lower % on those areas
but please lay off a few days or a week and then try it, if it continues to itch/irritate. stop! I have had allergic reactions
to even the 2.5% BP is strong stuff!
as for the itching, just leave it alone a while. ditch the 10%
for now. if you can’t tolerate the low dose, don’t risk it further.
that happens to me alot if my nerves flare up on my back,and i use gold bound medicated body powder or lotion in the green the other goldbond lotion and powder containers are yellow like looking,they all pack alittle haet but i have always felt better
