Acne issue
I have been prescribed benzoyl peroxide ointment for my skin. It makes my skin dry. Can someone recommend a cream that I can apply post removing benzoyl peroxide from my skin. A cream that will remove dryness and not cause pimples.

Acne that is pimples need to be treated according to the severity of the condition. If it is severe, we need to start medication to prevent permanent scarring. We also need to check the hormonal status in females which may be the root cause of acne. Some dietary modifications also help. Please contact me via the online consult option.
