Can I Safely Use Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5% Ointment?

Patient's Query

Can I use benzoyl peroxide 2.5% concentration ointment

Answered by Dr. Deepak Jakhar

The typical usage of Benzoyl peroxide 2.5% ointment is for acne treatment. It can be of tremendous use in getting rid of the microorganisms on the skin surface that could cause acne eruptions. Overproduction of oil, clogged pores, and bacteria are the most rampant causes of acne. Benzoyl peroxide when used as prescribed by a dermatologist will help decrease the number of bacteria on the skin, which in turn will aid in the improvement of the acne symptoms.

Allergic reactions to antibiotics are a common issue, resulting in itching or welts on the body. It is essential to stop using the antibiotic at once and see a doctor. An allergist or an immunologist is going to be able to diagnose and manage the allergy.

Can i get hpv from sharing clothes , towels or my personal items or objects from someone who has genital warts ?

Male | 32

Genital warts are caused by a virus known as HPV. It is impossible to be infected with HPV through the sharing of clothes, towels, or objects of personal hygiene. The most common way for HPV to spread is through skin-to-skin contact, usually during sexual activity. The general symptoms of genital warts are the presence of small, flesh-colored bumps in the genital area. In case you happen to be concerned about HPV then the best thing to do is to talk to a healthcare provider about preventing and treating it.
