How Does Benzoyl Peroxide Help Acne?

Benzoyl peroxide is one of the most effective over-the-counter ingredients for treating acne, and it works in a few different ways.

First, it releases oxygen into your pores. The bacteria that contribute to acne don’t thrive in an oxygen-rich environment, so this helps reduce the number of acne-causing bacteria on your skin. It also helps unclog pores by removing dead skin cells and excess oil, making it harder for new pimples to form.

A few tips if you’re just getting started:
• Start with a lower strength, such as 2.5% or 5%, to help minimize dryness and irritation.
• Use a moisturizer if your skin becomes dry.
• Be careful around towels, pillowcases, and clothing because benzoyl peroxide can bleach fabrics.

Color isn’t the whole story. Green or yellow mucus can happen with viral illnesses too.

Have you ever looked in the mirror after taking Pepto-Bismol and thought, “What happened to my tongue?” 😳

Don’t panic! A black tongue after taking Pepto-Bismol is a harmless and temporary side effect. The active ingredient, bismuth subsalicylate, can react with small amounts of sulfur in your saliva. That reaction forms a dark-colored compound that can temporarily stain your tongue (and sometimes even your stool).

The discoloration isn’t dangerous and usually goes away within a few days after you stop taking the medication or brush your tongue. However, if you notice black stools without taking Pepto-Bismol or iron supplements, or if you’re having severe stomach pain or bleeding, it’s important to contact your healthcare provider.

Have you ever been surprised by this harmless side effect?

💤 Why does Benadryl make you sleepy?

Benadryl (diphenhydramine) is an antihistamine that can cross into the brain and block histamine, a chemical that helps keep us awake and alert. That’s why many people feel drowsy after taking it.

But here’s the interesting part… not everyone reacts the same way! Some people experience the opposite effect, called a paradoxical reaction, where Benadryl can make them feel restless, energized, or even wide awake.

Are you one of those people? Let us know if Benadryl puts you to sleep or if you’re part of the group that gets the “reverse” effect! 😴⚡

In honor of Shark Week, we’re sharing a couple of articles connecting sharks and medicine. Have you ever heard about shark cartilage before?

What is it? Shark cartilage is the tissue that provides support for fins in sharks (Squalus acanthias). It mainly comes from sharks caught in the Pacific Ocean. Shark cartilage became a popular medicine in the 1970s. But its popularity led to a decline in shark numbers. It was previously suggested t...
