Thank you Walter for your help. As my rosacea was under control and I had no other problems (other than the dermatalogist report said there'd been a demodex mite on a tissue sample) I am thinking that if they weren't giving me a 'visible' problem before, then maybe I should just use the acarid soap ...

Thanks Mikey - Being a sensitive 'rosacean' does make it more difficult. I'm seriously considering just using the acarid soap, but I'm still going to give the ZZ cream a total of 2 wks. My face is flaking all over now and itchy and feels 'thick'. I haven't felt this way in well over a year (but neve...

Thanks Tamara for your suggestion. I'll try the ZZ cream on another area (neck & chest) and see if is happens there as well. I still used it last night but I'm 'wary'. But even if it doesn't react on the other areas, it could still mean that the rosacea is being aggravated and flaring up again. ...

Thanks for your reply! From what I've read - it's not. (But I may be remembering wrong.) I chose not to use the ZZ/Fumanling+metronidazole (or w/o metronidazole) as there was already mention that it bothered some people's skin. As mine is sensitive already I didn't want to add something that might b...

Adverse reaction to ZZ cream or Rosacea reaction?

Walter - could you please provide an answer for me? I am a new user of the ZZ cream (on day 8 now). I also have rosacea with very sensitive skin. But my rosacea has been under control for the past year (redness pretty much gone, etc.) and skin clear. I'd had painful papules when first diagnosed but ...
