My Dear

Welcome to Healthcaremagic!
I have assessed your description of the problem and think that your doctor has prescribed you the medication that is best in the class.

I would advise you to go ahead with the treatment and get well soon. Here I would like to add a few things that I believe will be helpful:

1 Benzoyl Peroxide needs to be used first in 2.5% concentration and when you start tolerating it well, then you may opt o increase this to 5%

2 You are strongly recommended to wash your face with plain water to remove oily secretions that tend to blockage of skin pores and development of acne lesions.

These two suggestions will hasten your recovery.

Best wishes
