wrinkles on eyelids due to benzamycin
by Jackie, Feb 27, 2001 12:00AM
I have been using benzamycin gel on my face for about a year now due to excessive oil and breakouts. However, my eyelids get so oily. So I did a really dumb thing and put benzamycin on my eyelids(just a little) two days in a row(I have since discontinued using it in this area). Well on the second day my eye lids became a little swollen and although the swelling has went down the inner part of the lid is very wrinkled. Do you think this is permanent? Is it scaring to the area? What are your suggestions? Thank you.

These "wrinkles" are in fact just dried-out skin. Benzamycin can't permanently damage things. Just lay off the stuff for a couple of days, moisturize, and you'll look younger again.
