USING BENZOYL PEROXIDE
I have a severe allergic reaction to using this product to treat acne. My face swelled, it itches, it's hot and burns and my skin is severely dry. What can I purchase over the counter to get rid of this reaction, without consulting a doctor?

It probably isn't an actual allergic reaction, but instead you are highly sensitive to benzoyl peroxide, or you were applying too much of the medication.
If the rash continues, you could consider either hydrocortisone cream or benadryl cream to reduce the burning, itching sensation.
Likewise, you might be stuck with sulfur-based anti-acne products - while they do work, they really reek quite badly and can damage clothing worse than the bleaching effect of benzoyl peroxide.
