breakouts in fifth week
i have been using DS for over 4 weeks now and am getting awful breakouts. i thought my mites would be dead by now. I also have a horrible problem with blackheads now. i am wondering if the fumunling is causing this. does it tend to clog pores? has anyone had a problem with this? it makes my skin oily. how long till the mites are dead?

Re: breakouts in fifth week
That happened to me, and I also wondered if the fumanling cream was causing pimples. It sort of is, but that's a good thing actually. It causes pimples by killing the mites. That's what you want. And 4 weeks time is not enough time for most people to get past the initial break-out. For me, it started clearing up about 1.5 months into the program. At about 2 months it was about where it would be without any medications. At about 3 months it was about at the same point it would be with antibiotics and benzoyl peroxide. At 4 months it was better than antibiotics and BP. At 5 months I was pretty much 100% clear.RC wrote:i have been using DS for over 4 weeks now and am getting awful breakouts. i thought my mites would be dead by now.

And that was for me. For you, it might take longer. Or it might clear up tomorrow. Just hang in there and commit to 3-5 months.
By the way, after I got clear, the products didn't cause further pimples. So I don't think it's a matter of it clogging pores at all. It's just killing mites, and that's what you want.
By the way, I used ZZ at night and XFML in the morning. Yes, I found if I used XFML in the morning and the night, it would make my face greasy. It seemed like my face was "sweating" the XFML product. Hahaha. So I think using XFML + ZZ is better than using XFML + XFML. Then you won't have that greasy feeling. But if you do use XFML + XFML, then considering using less of it at each application. And use a deep cleaning pore cleanser to clean your face.

thanks steve, i get pretty frustrated waiting to clear up because i am job hunting right now and do not have the confidence i need . i am anxious to get on with my life as a clear skinned confident individual. i am using both the zz and fumunling. i have not started the soap yet. i will order it soon.
good luck to all others who are just starting.
