Guest guest Posted October 18, 1999 Report Share Posted October 18, 1999 If you can just call your doctor ask abt putting bacatracin cream on the rim of the eyelid and lashes, that helps kill the infection. You definately want to catch it before it gets bad, b/c then it can take months to get it gone. lyhuf-@... wrote: original article:/group/rosacea-support/?start=89 16 > I'm interested in in it too, but it frightens the dickens out of me.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 1999 Report Share Posted October 21, 1999 bacitracin is an over-the-counter petrolatum-based ointment with antibiotic in it, like polysporin or any of the other anti-infective ointments you can get at the drugstore. Re: frangrance-free shampoo, we use 's Ultra-Sensitive Baby Wash for our toddler daughter, and it can be used as shampoo, but I think 's also makes a shampoo in the ultra-sensitive line. Both have that 'no-more-tears' formula which is prob. the idea behind recommending baby shampoo for eyelids in the first place. I've found it increasingly difficult to find this Ultra-Sensitive line, but drugstore.com has the baby wash. --jill roy shoichet wrote: original article:/group/rosacea-support/?start=90 23 > Thanks, > > Any idea what Bacitracin is? > > Sherry > > JMclin1067@... wrote: > > > Are there any fragrant free shampoos?.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 1999 Report Share Posted November 5, 1999 Hi Jill, Thanks for the tips. I called ston & ston and they told me that the ultra sensitive line is not available in Canada. I'm going to see if someone in the U.S. can pick it up for me.
