If it was just small ';dab';, you shouldn't have anything to worry about. Did you know BP is actually widely used in the food industry to bleach/whiten products like flour and cheese? The straight chemical, even at low concentrations in acne treatments, is still pretty harsh though- most products state something like ';keep away from eyes, nose, and mouth.'; If you ingested a significant amount and/or start to experience more serious symptoms, I would take the label advice- call a poison control center (US:1-800-222-1222) or seek medical attention.
