HI Rachael. You were very helpful as usual. I did try the Z Cream twice a day
for three days but my skin seems irritated. I got some raised red bumps around
the outer edges of my face. Like on the sides of my face and my forehead. I
did not put it on last night or this morning. Not sure if this is a normal
reaction to have. I was pleasantly surprised that that stinging I felt the
first time I tried it on my nose went away in 5 minutes just like you and Brady
mentioned it would so I thought I was going to do alright with it. But not sure
about this red raised bumpy rash look and sting. I am glad that the diet alone
will do a great deal to help because I'm just not sure what to put on my face.
Noritate still doesn't bother my face and plain Zinc (well, so far as you can
find it with no other ingredients in it) feels soothing. So it's the diet most
of all for me. It's been three weeks now I am hoping to start to see something
better in the mirror and feel less irritated
soon.

Thanks again,
Elena

Hi Elena,

Yes, I used the Z cream morning and night. The night was the most important
"dose" but as my face was so bad, I used it in the morning and wore it all day,
too. I did suffer for the first couple of months with incredible dryness from it
but adding the good fats from the Diet, overall increased nutrition, and washing
with a cotton ball and water daily eventually eased some of the dryness. Now you
wouldn't know that my face had been so dry.

Uh, let's see. Sunscreen. Nope. I never used a sunscreen. <gasp!> I know, ain't
I the bad one! LOL :) I'm not a big advocate of sunscreen for the usual day to
day going in and out of stores or work. That's my preference. However, when I
was going to be outside for a number of hours at a time -- for example, I took a
class in which a good portion of it was held outside -- I did put on sunscreen.
The teacher brought some sunscreen in, and I used whatever she provided, don't
know what the brand was. My face did okay with it.

In your case of being outside on a school playground, I think you are wise to
use sunscreen. Maybe a hat, too -- go all out and be fashionable LOL :) =-- so
you don't have to suffer from any burning. As to what brand, I don't know what
to tell you. I'm sure others here make recommendations.

I'm guessing that you're using the Z cream, twice a day, morning and night. If
your school schedule will allow you to wash off the Z cream before you put the
sunscreen on, I would do that as first choice. That's the best way I know to
avoid any reaction. But granted, you may not have that luxury in time. If not,
then those days when you'll be on the playground -- Monday through Friday? --
perhaps only apply the Z cream at night. Maybe others here in the group who used
the Z cream only at night can tell you whether it still takes 4 months to treat
for the mites and all.

Dr. Linda Sy sells Zinco Cream which has sunscreen in it, in a tinted and
untinted version. I believe some group members used it as well as the Z cream.
You might ask the group. You can get samples of the Zinco cream to try. She
allows up to four samples of her products for $10 plus shipping. Two advantages
-- you don't have to lay out a lot of money for something you might have a
problem with, AND you get a nice size travel container :)

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Rachael

> HI Rachael, I will let you know if I decide the Chinese herb route. I agree
with with your husbands popsicle "therapy" LOL.........I also wanted to ask,
when you used the Z Cream you are one of a few who used it day and night, so I
was wondering did you use sunscreen over it if you knew you could not avoid the
sun? I will be on the school playground alot this year again and there is no
shade whatsoever so I just want to make sure there is nothing in sunscreen that
would react negatively with the Z Cream.
