I used a 10% benzoyl peroxide cream for a break out on my chin for about a week. The acne is gone, but what I have going on now is worse!!! The skin gets all crusted up, almost like a shell of just really dry skin. But that skin cracks or peels and underneath the skin is red and raw, so it just crusts over again in a day. Its a bad cycle and I dont know how to help it heal....I am sick of not feeling like even leaving the house because of this gross thing on my face! It is nearly impossible to cover with makeup, especially when the skin is raw and red. Make up just makes it look worse. I know it is a reaction to the BP, my skin can be pretty sensitive, I have stopped applying it. I just need to know how to deal with this to speed up (or start!) the healing process. I've been looking online and haven't found too much. PLease help!!!!
THANKS!
