Hi, welcome to HCM,
you get irritant contact dermatitis due to benzoyl peroxide gel .
It get disappears with the application of mild steroid mixed with emollient 2-3 times daily.
Mini craters as you are mentioning is acne scar. there are no any cream to heal it. you have to under go some procedures to decrease it.
derma roller, micro dermabrasion and pixel laser are suitable for this.
hope this will help you .
thanks
