Treatment for Benzoyl Peroxide Allergy?

I been using Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5% for 7 days. I can't help but say it really does clear my Acne, but i had alot of dryness and itchiness. Today i woke up with alot of redness, face looks abit puffy, lumpy and terrible itchiness. Do you think i am allergic to it? And is there any home remedies for it? Do i need to see a GP or a dermatologist? In the meantime i am taking anti-histamines and putting a cool towel on my face but to no effect.

Should I go to the doctor about acne?

I've had quite bad acne for about a year now. And nothing seems to be helping! I've used several over the counter acne treatments and none of them have worked, they cleared it up a little then within a few days it just all came back. The majority of the pimples are on my forehead with very few else where. Some are normal red blemishes though some are under my skin and can be quite painful. Should I go to my GP? I live in the UK just to let you know.

Please please someone, anyone here used this for acne?!?!?!?!!?!?

Urgent question, please read!

I'm 18 now, have had terrible acne since the age of 14. Blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, massive pus-filled spots, nodular/cystic acne (where massive lumps thrust out from below the skin) ... you name it, i've had it

tho over the last year, i've begun to notice a slight improvement, though its only a matter of a week or so before i flare up and look unsightly :( :( :( :(

i went to my GP yesterday, he said 'whoa' then gave me a prescription of ZINERYT, this topical antibiotic liquid/cream ...anybody had this before, has it worked, how long?!?!?!?!?!

Did you have any acne scar treatements work for you?

I have some acne scars. They aren't very big, they're just redder than the surrounding skin and one is slightly raised - a bump basically. Has anyone had similar scars and removed them successfully with some acne removal cream or something of that sort? I haven't tried any such cream treatments yet but they sound like scams.
Smiley, I had some for a short time (less than 2 months) and others I had for over a year. By GP do you mean a general pediatrician? Would they admit a 23 year old?
