Hi, ive been using Oxy for a week putting it on once a morning after sulfur soap. After the oxy i use palmers cocoa butter stuff as a moisturiser..but yesterday i really wanted the redness to go asap so i applied it once in the morning then again at about 5pm (i was going out that night) and yeh now this morning when i woke up and a part of my arm was bright red with this lumpy kinda rash and its really hot. I know i apllied it twice but on the packet im sure its says after two days with no discomfort, apply twice daily......

oh well guess it was my bad luck! Has anyone who had the bad reactions managed to get rid of the rash yet? if so info on what u used would be really helpful.

Also does anyone know any good body foundations that they would recomend for the arms?

thanx

I feel sorry for you! I put oxy on a week ago and it is only now that the redness and burn has subsided a little, my arms are in a pretty bad mess. All I can say is be relly careful with your skin as it will be delicate right now and I scrathed mine and managed to get it infected - not nice at all!!! I would leave the sulpher soap well alone for a while, I used antihistamine tablets and 1%hydrocortisone cream which has helped. Don't worry it will go away but it may take a week or two (or longer in my case) stay positive, Helen
