I have pimples on my upper back, upper torso and shoulders (it's red, sometimes itches and when I pull it off it's very painful).

Hello, thank you for your question! Is it acne in your case?
17 -year-old man · 3 years ago
Yes

Thanks for the clarification! The use of benzoyl peroxide, available without a prescription, can help reduce acne on these areas
It is used once or twice a day on the affected areas. Your pharmacist will be able to give you more information about its use, if you wish.
I hope this has been helpful to you and if you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me!

Thank you for your answer.
But I asked for "benzol peroxide" and he didn't understand
Is it a cream?

Oh boy, I'm sorry to read that! This is indeed the active ingredient. It is marketed under the name Benzagel. It is a gel to be applied to the affected areas.
Don't hesitate if there is anything
