Reinfection

It seems to me that it would be nearly impossible to prevent reinfection. Lets say I stay at a girlfriends house or I simply touch my face, then I'm reinfected. I kiss a girl, reinfection. Furthermore, I have nice skin everywhere except on my nose, which is oily, pink, and has gigantic pores I mean ...

I'd say use the fumanling cream at night when you work and then use the zz cream when you get home and go to bed. When you wake and need go out of the house wash the zz off and reapply the fumanling cream. Just reverse the normal order.

If you read the FAQ on this site, in clinical trials, the zz cream was 93.46% effective at curing the problem and 99.7% effective in reducing the symptoms. Are you likely in the 93.46%? In other words, is your rosacea/acne more severe than 93.46% of the population who suffer from the condition, like...

Just washed the stuff off this morning for the first time. Youre message is a little unclear. Are you using it at night and then washing it off in the morning? Or are you using it in the morning? If washing it off in the morning: I think the smell youre referring to is the sulfur smell. I use the ac...

I got the pore extractions at ther dermatologist tofay. Big mistake, I left with bright red spots on my nose that took all day to go away. Next time I am going to the spa where facials are soothing and they steam the pores so that they don't need brute force for extraction. Coincidentally I got the ...

The break out actually seems to be over. I have no new pimples and the old ones are basically all healed up. The redness on my nose is slight at best and continues to improve. I can't imagine what it will look like a month from now and once I start the zz ointment. I will keep updating for the purpo...

Well that would provide a perfect explaination for why accutane works, it a) starves the mites and bacteria by drastically reducing oil production and b) shrinks the pores so that there is less room for the mites. An antibiotic, however, would only kill the bacteria, leaving mites free to roam about...

I am glad I found such awesome products. I bought 4 more of the acarid soap. And bought the ZZ ointmen...

thanks for you help steve. I am gonna try the packing tape too, sometimes the microderm is a little irrating I admit. I thought the mites produce no feces though? I though I read on the site that their metabolism is so efficient that they produce none, that's extremely strange though. Nevertheless, ...

Once again way late on this one but here ya go anyways. Self-microdermabrasion by the Life Extension Foundation is the best thing I've ever use to get the flakes off my combo skin. I use it everyday and it is the greatest thing in the world. It leaves the skin so smooth that you begin to cry at the ...

Here we go!

Okay I have "pre-rosacea" on my nose. It all started when I was about 12 years old. I use to burn my nose to the point where it would scab over. After the last time I burned my nose to that level, my mom suggested that I use makeup to cover up the redness after the scab was gone until the ...
