I dont think Dans bp agrees with me at all. Ive only been using a very thin layer and not very much of it. My skin is very cracked and it really stings! Its been stinging since 7:00ish after I washed my face! I didnt moisturize. I dont know why Dans bp doesnt agree with me because I dont have this problem when I use Neobenz Micro

Hey!
You said your burn was itchy and dry. You are able to put a thin layer of Neosporin on it even when you don't have a bandage over it. It helps to keep infection out, helps to heal it, plus it keeps the healing skin moist so it doesn't get all dried and cracky. It feels a lot better when healing is moist as opposed to dry and cracky and itchy! I kept Neosporin ointment on mine until it was pretty much all healed up nicely!
Your skin is very sensitive and doesn't agree with a lot of products unfortunately. I bet that's the reason you are having problems with Dan's bp. Also, remember your Neobenz Micro has that patented delivery system that releases the bp slowly, thereby creating less irritation. That's also why you're probably able to use a higher strength Neobenz Micro bp than other bp products.
I hope your skin clears up quickly using all your products. Remember you can use your mask as a spot treatment too!
Ciao!
No, its very nondrowsy. Im always lethargic though but I think thast more related to my antidepressants.
Hiya
I was just reading through your log and I noticed you mentioned you were taking Anti-depressants. I just wondered which ones you took, if you still take them. Hope you dont mind me asking?
I was on effexor for a few years and think that this conributed to my acne getting considerably worse. i have had acne all my life I am 29 now but when started taking the anti derpessants I started getting massive cysts which I had never really got before. Dont get me wrong the anti depressants did help me with my mental state which was not good at the time! But I came off them in the end as I suffered lots of bad side effects in other ways from it.
I just wondered if you ever noticed a differance when taking them and how you find them in general.
Hope you dont mind me asking 🙂
I dont think my antidepressants really have an affect on my skin. In answer to your question, I am on Celexa and Wellbutrin. They make me very tired but they make me feel hyper most of the time and I rarely ever cry. Sometimes Im sad but if Im upset about stuff, I mostly get angry and stressed not sad

I love this neosporin but the only problem is it doesnt keep it moisturized for very long. My arm no longer hurts but it is very red, cracked, dry, and its not healing as fast as Id like it to; Saturday will be the third week. It is already starting to scar :boohoo:
Yes I bet thats the reason I am not able to tolerate Dans bp either. I am not gonna use Dans bp anymore and Im just gonna wait until I see my derm on the 21st which is right around the corner. In the meantime I will use the baby brush method with my cleanser on it to exfoliate my face. I will of course continue with my spetra too and the face mask. I actually have used the face mask as a spot treatment a few times and I LOVE IT!
I wish my skin wasnt so sensitive! My moms skin has always been flawless! I wish I had her skin but instead I inherited skin from someone else in my family. It isnt my dads skin either because his skin is oily. My skin is extremely dry.
I am drinking the Roobios Tea from Trader Joes. I put some honey in it and a small amount of sugar and mixed it with a spoon. It tastes great 😀
Well, I gotta go shower now because I have one more class to take to renew my license. Hopefully, the class will let out early like it has been. ttyl 🙂
I have peanut butter in my fridge. I havent had peanut butter in months! I am craving it but Im worried I will break out 
I will have some anyway just not a lot.
My face looks better again today. I dont have as many new zits. My burned arm is another story. Its healing too slowly, its still really red, it is cracked and it is already starting to scar
Goodnight Melanie! Im gonna go to bed now. I was a total insomniac last night and then I had to wake up at 7:00 for the class. Hopefully, I will sleep better tonight 
Ill try and post here tomorrow before I go to work
hahaha OMG - that whole peanut butter thing was so funny because just two days ago I told my husband I hadn't had peanut butter and jelly in seriously FOREVER and my daughter had left hers here when she switched apartments over Christmas break... it was staring me in the eyes each and every time I opened the fridge door... YEP it was lip smacking delicious!!! I had no good bread for it bc we only buy whole grain bread which isn't really good with pb&j... so I had a left over english muffin that was in the freezer, bc it was my daughter's again haha and only one was left, so i toasted that and ate the pb&j on it!!! It was crunchy peanut butter and strawberry jam and I gotta say... it totally rocked my world!!!
I'm glad the zits are healing up nicely because once you figure out which topicals help to dry them up quickly, you will be better able to control any flareups you might get. Like I've said before, you control breaking out as much as you can, and then make sure you have products to help them heal quickly if and when you do break out.
Your arm... make sure you keep the neosporin on it and don't peel anything or touch any of the newly-forming skin. Don't scratch if it itches either. That delicate new skin protects the burn along with helping to keep the scarring down to a minimum. I can't wait for the derm to see that as well.
Good night Miss Molly. I hope you sleep well tonight!

great minds think alike Melanie 😆 I had mine with cherry jam though and it was delectable too
I have pimples that are drying up but they arent quite all the way there. Yes my arm itches like hell! Im applying the neosporin but it doesnt help. I am not picking at it at all. I dont know what to do about the itching though. I feel like Im crawling out of my own skin!
I didnt sleep very well again. I was freezing my rear end off so then I turned up the heater a little bit and then I was too hot. Its like a no win situation. Im tired of not sleeping well because I am exhausted
I sympathise completely! It sounds silly but you can be so tired that you can't sleep! With me, I almost get a hyper energy when I haven't slept for ages!Hope you manage to get over the insomnia and get a good night's sleep!
Thats exactly how I am! I get a hyper energy and I thought race. I have too much on my mind that I cannot sleep.
Thank you! I hope it happens too! Ive had insomnia now for a long time
Its time for me to write about food again 😆 Im eating frozen cherries right now and they are delicious I tell you

Molly,
Do you have aquaphor from Eucerin? I wonder if you put that over the Neosporin, that will help it keep it moist and less itchy?

Molly,

Yes I do have aquaphor. I completely forgot I can put that on my burn. That is a wonderful idea! Thank you 🙂
Justamomtoo did you get my pm yesterday and my two other e-mail responses?
UGH! I got another zit on the bone of my chin, that damn peanut butter! I only ate a tiny bit of it. I also have one under my chin 
Its 12:35 and I just finished applying EM minerals. I hadnt been using it because it just didnt look right. I started using it again yesterday using my prescriptives brush and it looks so much better! It also lasted on my face a really long time last night. I might just start using my expensive prescriptives foundation for special occasions and my EM for everyday use.
I hope your burn does better with the Aquaphor! My Neosporin is in the ointment form, so that's prob why it did a better job of keeping it moist. I think you mentioned yours was the cream form so that Aquaphor will add that vaseline-like protection on top of the Neosporin!
I also bet your EM foundation looks better because your skin is much better too! The last time you used it your skin wasn't as good as it is now, and I think it makes a big difference in the mineral makeup when your skin is too dry, peely, broken out, etc. So I'm glad you like it a little better now. See how it goes!
Your derm appt is Monday right?
Ciao!

My skin is actually back to looking horrible. I dont have red cheeks with bumps like before but I still break out everyday. Today I have like ten pimples Im not happy with 🙁
Yes my derm appointment is on Monday. I will continue to put Aquaphor on my burn too
My birthday is also in six days even though my avatar says otherwise 
Great idea! Tell him how much you LOVE the NeoBenz and I bet he'll be so happy and will give you a prescription for that! It makes it easy on the docs when you have a preference of what works well for you.YAY!
I hope he writes me a prescription for that. He probably will because last time he saw me he was running out of idea of what to try on me; he started pacing back and forth lol
Im infuriated right now! I went to visit the derm and he said he could try UV light therapy on me, six treatments and he said hed give me a discount. I told him I loved the NeoBenz Micro so I was gonna try that first. He wrote me the prescription. The pharmacist told me my insurance rejected it that my dr needs to preauthorize it

UGGHHHHH I HATE insurance companies!!!!! Even though my doc has written in a specific brand name for some topical, my insurance would only fill the generic, and insisted even though my doc wanted me to have the brand name bc of say better this or that, the insurance argued back and forth. It's like your NeoBenz. That is a particular delivery system of BP. Not every BP works the same even with the same BP % usually bc of the inactive ingredients or delivery system. Various topicals can be brought over the counter, so insurance would rather you use them of course. As you have found out with your particular skin though, a lot of the over-the-counter products don't equal your product!
What'd he say about your burn? And what did he say about the UV Light Therapy regarding effectiveness?
Ciao!
I hate insurance companies too! I am so upset! My insurance might be ending early actually so I might have to get a new therapist and a new dermatologist! Ive been seeing my derm since I was twelve or thirteen and Ive been seeing my therapist for five years! It will be too hard to say bye to them 
Insurance companies are so selfish. I hate insurance in this stupid country! We wouldnt have this problem if we lived in Canada or Europe
What topical did you want that they refused to cover?
He said its healing nicely but that I should keep it moisturized. He goes, "I have some Aquaphor" I go, "I have that already" He told me, "I bet you dont have the one Im gonna give you" He gave me this mini one for my purse and I showed him the one I have. He goes, "Thats big! This one is better for your purse"
About UV light therapy he said it works for some people and not others.
