Zanfel removes urushiol, the oil in poison ivy that binds to the skin and produces the symptoms of itching, redness, and swelling. Zanfel surrounds and removes the toxin from the dermal layers so that the body may immediately begin healing, and will no longer attack itself. This process is done very quickly and efficiently so that relief usually comes within 30 seconds!

People may have some redness or swelling at the site of the skin tests. This does not mean you have TB; it must be checked by a nurse or doctor. The skin test may also itch. Do not scratch or rub the site. You can put a cold cloth on it. You can take two Tylenol (i.e. acetaminophen) if it hurts. If the swelling and redness gets larger than a quarter, see the school nurse the next day. TB does not live very long outside of the body.

The most common causes of feet itching are dry skin or a fungal infection. A fungal infection causes circular scaling of the skin. It can also cause cracks in the skin, especially between the toes. Fungus likes to grow between the toes because it is a dark, moist environment. Fungal infections are best treated with antifungal creams or gels applied twice a day. There are many good creams that can eradicate a fungal skin infection.

Intense Pulse Light (IPL) technology is different than laser light in that it emits energy over many wavelengths. This allows the light to penetrate through the skin at different depths where dilated vessels can be found. Lasers produce only a single wavelength of light, which can limit the conditions in which they can treat.

Both men and women can make use of makeup techniques to disguise the temporary effects of cosmetic surgery.

You may have DEEP VENOUS THROMBOSIS, a clot in the veins of the calf muscles, often caused by prolonged inactivity. See your doctor or go to the emergency room right away. A blood clot in the legs could break away and block an artery in the lungs, causing pulmonary embolism. Wear support stockings or hose. Alternate periods of standing with sitting. See your doctor if the varicose veins are very prominent, or if they become painful and red.

Yes. As with other strong soaps, Zanfel should be applied carefully, avoiding direct contact with the eye. If contact occurs, rinse the eye with cold water until the irritation subsides.

Poison ivy, sumac, and oak secrete a toxin called urushiol oil. When human skin contacts this oil, it sets up an allergic reaction that causes itchy rashes, blisters, and lesions. A course of treatment with Zanfel involves washing the affected area until no itching remains. Some spots may contain more urushiol oil than others and, therefore, require a second washing with Zanfel.

If accidentally swallowed, Zanfel usually causes gagging. If not, it enters the digestive tract and seeks out and kills all bacteria, good or bad. Good bacteria aid in digestion, so you may experience mild diarrhea for several hours until your body regenerates the good bacteria. If Zanfel gets into your eyes, rinse them with water until the burning subsides. If problems become severe or if they persist, see your doctor immediately.

intense light is omitted in a series of gentle pulses over the entire area. This special light, which is different than laser, emits energy over many wavelengths. This allows the light to penetrate through the skin where dilated vessels can be found. Lasers produce only a single wavelength of light and are limited in what they can treat.

Swelling is very common post-operatively, so you will most likely have swelling to some degree. It is not uncommon for the swelling to migrate downward, to your abdominal area, as well as the groin area. This is nothing to be alarmed about, as the swelling will dissipate within a few days to a few weeks. It's unadvisable to take diuretics without getting permission to do so from your plastic surgeon.

It does not have to be parotid swelling, the clinical case definition for mumps is an illness with acute onset of unilateral or bilateral tender, self-limited swelling of the parotid or other salivary gland, lasting > 2 days, and without other apparent cause. IgM antibodies are detectable within the first few days of illness, reach a maximum level about a week after the onset of symptoms, and remain elevated for several weeks or months.

No. Some people feel an itching sensation right before pigmentation begins. It may be likened to the sensation experienced when a wound is healing.

No. Zanfel actually removes the toxin, urushiol oil, from the skin after contact has been made with the plant. There is no need to use it until you are certain you contacted the plant or when swelling and itching begin. In this way, you avoid wasting the product. Even if you use barrier or preventive creams, they may not always be effective and they do not shield your clothing. Oil on your clothing may contaminate you when you undress.
