Painful pimples
Have some painful, raised pimples on my cheek. I have been using benzoyl peroxide 2.5% gel at night. Recently, I notice slight itching for a while after applying the gel, but I do not have burning. I also use Dot & Key face wash and Ponds moisturizer. The face wash feels comfortable and does not irritate my skin. Please tell me what could be causing these pimples and whether I should continue using benzoyl peroxide 2.5% gel.

Hello,
Thank you for your query.
• Based on the information provided, it is difficult to suggest the most appropriate treatment without a proper assessment, as several skin conditions can appear similar.
• Kindly share clear photographs of the affected area in good lighting along with details such as duration of the problem, symptoms, and any treatments used previously.
• I would advise against starting any OTC creams or self-medication, as some products may worsen the condition or delay proper treatment.
• An accurate diagnosis is the first step towards effective and long-lasting results.
You may book a consultation for a detailed evaluation and a personalized treatment plan. I would be happy to guide you further.

Proper evaluation needs to be done in your case and also oral treatment would be required in your condition, so kindly consult and do not apply simply too many active ingredients and over-the-counter products on your skin
