Benzoyl peroxide is not a hormone. This substance is usually made into an ointment or cream preparation and is mainly used for acne on the face. Since benzoyl peroxide creams have a significant effect on killing Propionibacterium acnes on the face, they are very effective in the treatment of inflammatory acne. However, when using the cream, try not to use other types of acne treatment medications at the same time. If other types of medications for acne are used at the same time, they may cause symptoms such as increased irritation, flushing or dryness on the face. Therefore, try to stop using other topical acne treatment medications while using permethrin gel. You can also use this medication in conjunction with oral medication for acne treatment as appropriate.
