Hello,
So I've been on benzoyl peroxide 2.5% that my doctor have prescribed o me for 16 days aside from taking a lymecycline 408mg pill everyday. So not until i've used la roche posay ( thermal spring water mist) "which i used probably on day 12" I experienced the next day itchiness on the eyes and around it!! I took an allergy pill but it didn't calm this down ! The next few days and I'm still applying bp before going to bed, i wake up with itchy face. Yesterday I went out in the sun and after I came back I slept in for about 4-5 hours and I woke up with extremely itchy red face with bumps or hives!! It's itchy as hell and idk what to do!!! I didn't use it last night as it might be an allergic reaction but should I visit my doctor? And until then what should i do ?
Ps: redness and itchiness is on all of my face except my cheeks
Definitely sounds like an allergic reaction. You could apply some hydrocortisone cream to calm things down and follow up with your derm
Thanks for replying.
I came from my dermatologist now and she told me to stop the medication for five days and prescribed to me Cutivate 0.05% cream and claritine pills
