Re: Cosmetic/Skincare Breakouts

[Guest guest]

I assume this person wanted this expressed to the group, but I'll

leave it anonymous just in case:

I find this very interesting. I am nearly convinced that my

condition resulted from the overuse of benzoyl peroxide 10% solution--

although I know this isn't a steroid. I never had a history of

flushing and I never had acne, but I began using this on my nose

(compulsively in an attempt to prevent breakouts)and I overused it

for a year before I first noticed my nose was pinkish in color and

would occasionally flare. This is only true where I applied the BP.
