Re: parasites other than demodex?

Ive been wondering the same thing lately Walter. Ive heard a lot about getting diseases from tick bites. Here is the thing, I have not had a tick bite that I know of BUT- I worked at an animal shelter for almost a year. Not only did I deal with a lot of animals with demodex, but there were also anim...

parasites other than demodex?

Wow its really scary whatever is on my face. Ive noticed heavily infected places, where I had been applying the zz cream, after the infection starts to die down, in each of these places I noticed black things the size of pepper or maybe a little bigger, RISING up out of my skin. First I notice them ...

Re: 6 weeks - new breakouts - is that normal?

My break outs became progressively worse after 6 weeks, until eventually my skin was becoming so infected I couldnt heal and had to stop. I also had a lot of problems with developing an itching burning rash on my neck and face so it possibly could be an allergy. I truly hope this doesnt happen to you.

Re: Have to give up on the zz cream. :(

I put a very thin layer on my face. It doesnt even look really white afterwards, and I cant see it on my skin. And I had no trouble with it in the beginning, in fact it almost was soothing at first. Now it seems Im allergic to it or my skin developed some type of sensitivity to it. The pustules I ge...

Have to give up on the zz cream. :(

..Im pretty sure im done. Since doing this treatment, my skin has become unbearably painful. I simply cant go on anymore. Every night I go to sleep with zz cream on my face(and Im not even doing it every night), I wake up with red, irritated skin covered in new pustules. Perhaps this is from killing...

Re: Im back again

Hiii! Yeah, the ponds is good stuff. It probably helps my skin more than anything else. It has some bad stuff in it like mineral oil, but I havent found it causes any more breakouts than using the z cream alone (when the nightmare infection and itching reaction happened, I was using the Z cream alon...

Im back again

Ive been seeing if my skin can handle zz once again..I havent been doing it every night. Im up to every other night right now, but it itches the next day after I do it. I havent had any violent reactions to it like I did when my face was infected with staph. Ive been treating twice a day with the po...

Re: MUST TAKE A DAY OR EVEN TWO OFF THE Z CREAM

Wow this same thing happened to me, I just happened to find this post. Just like you, I got horrible sick with the flu, and had a horrible, sudden reaction to the zz cream afterwards. Maybe there is something to this? Perhaps the body cant handle the harshness of z cream while having the flu? TKR, I...

Re: HELP WALTER! PLease!

No, you see what happened was I went to the doc and got the antibiotics after this had gotten so severe. Since i have a staph infection, its probably why my skin is freaking out from the zz. It makes sense..having the die off breakouts for soooo long and then detoxing AND being sick on top of it, it...

Re: HELP WALTER! PLease!

All other over the counter, holistic, and prescription medications. This stuff was my last hope. Ive done every diet, everything internal that I know of as well. Cleanses, vitamins, antibiotic courses, etc. I visited the doctor and they said I had a staph infection in my acne. :( Im now on antibioti...

Re: HELP WALTER! PLease!

Not using on my neck. Thats the weird thing. BUt I used to have the same reaction when I used benzoyl peroxide acne treatments. After awhile, I started getting this horribly itchy (although this one is itchier) bright red rash all over my neck. Even though I was never applying the treatment there. I...

Re: HELP WALTER! PLease!

Ill try the hydrocortisone..
but the thing is Ive been to derms for years. I spent thousands of dollars.
They were not even able to help me a little.
Thats what led me here.
