Hello!

i've been using Benzaclin for about 3 months now. it has worked wonders. Just recently i noticed small dry patches on the side of my face where i had used a lot of Benzaclin prieviously, trying to get rid of an under the skin pimple. i'm moisturizing them like crazy, even using Vit E oil but it still looks rough in those areas. Does anyone know of this happening? I was thinking it was because i've been out in the sun a lot or because the benzaclin is nearing the expiration date. Any ideas??

Thanks!

If you go to the main message board page, all the boards have little blurbs under them describing what each board is about. Those should give you a good idea of where to post.

I occasionally get dry patches with Benzaclin too, and they end up kind of peeling like a sunburn. I'm pretty sure that's just a general side effect of Benzaclin. I just keep putting moisturizer with a sunscreen on everyday. For me, it lasts a couple days to a week or so before going away.

Thanks for the feedback. The patches actually did go away i just have some redness where they were...i'm not too worried about it! I was just worried it was an allergic reaction to the medication. I would be so sad, since Benzaclin has worked wonders. i love it!!! So expensive though!
