no to accutane

Just thought I'd put in a few words about my own experience on accutane. A few years ago, a Kaiser Permanente doctor prescribed an accutane treatment for me. I had to sign and initial lots of papers, because it is very dangerous (birth defects, side effects). I really didn't care though, because I w...

Forever Dryness

Yes, I agree with you. The stuff is working nicely, but I don't want to use the ZZ forever either. I don't really think it would be healthy to do so. The website does actually suggest that you take vitamin B to help boost your immune system while you do the treatment. So... there may be some immune ...

Healing Burns

Thanks for your advice!

I've dilutted the ZZ with water as you suggested (on my face) and stopped putting it on my burnt neck for the time being.

How did you get rid of your skin burns? My burnt neck is still dry and lizardy. Did you use Aloe? Just moisturizer?

Thanks!
Anna

Now, I'm experiencing extremely dry skin on my neck and on...

Re: Burning

If the burning is really strong, is it an allergic reaction? I started the Fumanling cream (with the special cleanser) this morning and my skin liked it pretty well. However, when I tried the ZZ ointment this evening (for the first time), I experienced an imediate strong burning (or cooling) sensati...

Re: Thyroid TSH Part 2, a must read for all

David, Thanks for making all of these skin connections. I'm new to this site and Demodex. I've tried many treatments, including Accutane. I'm very sorry that I tried Accutane before doing my own research and finding other solutions. Accutane had a few strange side-effects (temporary skin mottling on...
