Suggest Remedy For Swollen Eyelids After Using Benzoyl Peroxide

My daughter has swollen eyelids from using Benzoyl Peroxide (10%) acne cream. I ve given her Benedryl to treat this issue. It s been like this for a couple days now. She said she feels fine. No itch. Not hard to breath. Should I be concerned? When should I take her to her doctors?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I do not think that you need to get concerned. Ask her to wash her eyes frequently with plain water. You have done the right thing by giving Benadryl. Since it is getting better, I would not worry. But in case the problems persist, please be sure to consult a doctor.

Hope that helps.
