Benzoyl peroxide and povidone iodine can generally be used together, as prescribed by your doctor. Benzoyl peroxide is indicated for the treatment of common acne. Contraindications to use include hypersensitivity to the product, acute inflammation and breakouts of the skin. Povidone-iodine is indicated for cleaning up fungal skin infections, suppurative dermatitis, minor burns on small areas, as well as for the disinfection of small skin and mucous membrane wounds. Benzoyl peroxide gel and povidone-iodine solution generally do not have drug interactions, so they can usually be used together. Benzoyl peroxide can cause adverse reactions such as burning sensation, redness, dry skin, flaking, swelling, and contact dermatitis during administration. Contraindications to iodophor administration include hypersensitivity to the product, pregnant and lactating women. During the use of the drug may appear slight transient traumatic mucosal local irritation, mostly in a few moments after the disappearance of their own. Specific medication should be carried out under the guidance of a physician.
