HI! IVE BEEN USING BENZYL PEROXIDE FOR 3MONTHS NOW AND ITS CLEARED UP MOST OF MY CYSTIC ACNE, BUT IM STILL PUTTING IT ALL OVER MY FACE TO MAINTAIN IT.

When I say put all over my face, it includes the upper lip part. like under the nose area.

I have this bad habit of using the outer part of my hand (not the palm) to wipe that upperlip area when I pespire. (im sure most of other ppl do)

and because of that, the bp is in contact with my hands.

Now ive noticed this red patch of rash-like dry skin on my wrist, knucle, and thumb area.
it really looks like contact dermatitis. it seems like bp is an irritant to my hands!

however i dont have rashes on my face since my facial skin is alrdy used to the irritant (bp).

i strongly believe it is not rashes because it DOES NOT ITCH. its only like a raised patch of red dry skin.

do any of u experience this too?
im currently applying moisturising cream and also mometasone furoate cream onto affected areas.

but its been like for a month, 2months? it goes and comes agani. and now it seems to be spreading! i heard it can be a permanant thing (dermatitis) even when i stop using the irritant (bp) help!
