I'm allergic to Benzoyl Peroxide, could i also be allergic to Benzocaine?

No, Benzoyl peroxide is a completley different compound so the chances of you being allergic two both are pretty slim.

My first question for you would be. Are you truly allergic to benzoyl peroxide? Did you have a true allergic reaction such as anaphylaxis or do you just appear to be sensitive to it's ingredients? Or are you treating any side effects of benzoyl peroxide as allergies? Benzoyl peroxide and benzocaine are two unrelated medications and there is little to no incidence of cross-sensitivity between the two drugs.

I would be curious as to how you determined you are allergic to benzoyl peroxide. BP is a very powerful irritant that harms your skin as much as it harm bacteria. Its chronic use is destructive to your skin. For a given pimple, it should only be applied 2-4 times over the course of a week. More than that and your sensitive skin may display symptoms of allergies. Benzocaine is not related to benzoyl peroxide aside from the fact that they both contain a benzene molecule. The terminal chains that the immune system would likely interact, are fundamentally different. So, no, you won't be allergic to benzocaine.

It's possible, but unlikely. At any rate you won't be allergic to one just because you're allergic to the other. You might want to avoid veteran actor Ben Gazzara, though, just to be on the safe side.

Both chemically and in purpose they are completely different. That doesn't mean you won't be allergic or sensitive to it, just that it would have nothing to do with your allergy to Benzoyl Peroxide.

The structure and reactivity of these two compounds are very different. It is possible, but I don't think it's likely that you are allergic to benzocaine.

lol @ Sky, whoring herself by using other ppls question....pathetic and u prolly are becuz Benzoyl and Benzocaine both have the word Benzo in it so tht culd prolly be ur reaction

yea i think so double check though
