Detailed answer

Spot treatments can cause skin irritation due to the active ingredients they contain, such as benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. These ingredients can be harsh and may cause redness, dryness, and peeling of the skin. Additionally, if spot treatments are applied too frequently or left on for too long, they can further irritate the skin. It is important to follow the instructions provided with the spot treatment and to start with a small amount to test for any adverse reactions. If irritation occurs, it is recommended to discontinue use or consult a skincare professional for alternative options.
