It's been a month now, and suddenly my face has become very red with big itchy lumps again.

Hmm...very annoying!!! I'll carry on, hopefully this'll get better. Maybe it's new eggs hatching...

Hi :) It's about two weeks for me too, and I thought I'd got over the break-out period...but no! As you say, it seems to come in waves - you think you're over it..then bam! you get more spots. A funny feature of my break-outs is the SAME places seem to get itchy, with inflamed lumps. Over and over a...

Hi Bayarea :) I've been using zz and xmfl (in the evenings) for 10 days. Only in the last two days has my skin been looking better.

Many large itchy lumps sprang up (especially around my upper cheekbones) and I had some tiny whiteheads too. My face looked peppered with red blotches...

Hello! ::waves at almost empty forum:: :) I've started on the zz cream and xfml two days ago...the ZZ cream makes your eyes water, doesn't it?! :shock: :!: At the moment I'm looking really blotchy and lumpy and my face itches soooo bad! Anyway, I'll keep on with the treatment and see what happens. T...
