Overview Bpx 5% Gel

Acne treatment with Benzoyl Peroxide 5% Gel involves applying this antibacterial medication to affected skin areas (face, chest, back) to eliminate acne-causing bacteria. This gel can be used independently or alongside other acne therapies, always following your doctor's instructions and the accompanying leaflet. Cleanse and dry the affected area before application, typically once or twice daily. Avoid application to broken skin and contact with eyes, nose, and mouth. Improvement may take several weeks; continue use as directed. If your condition doesn't improve after a month, consult your physician. Minor side effects like skin irritation (itching, stinging, peeling, redness) are possible, but inform your doctor if they persist or worsen. Reducing application frequency or amount may help. Increased sun sensitivity is a possibility; minimize sun exposure, or apply the gel in the evening. Avoid contact with hair and fabrics due to potential bleaching. Inform your doctor about other skin conditions, medications (especially topical ones), and pregnancy/breastfeeding status, particularly if you have sensitive skin, as suitability may vary.
