I used to be able to use ZapZyt on my face daily. Then I took an antibiotic for a bladder infection and now, I'm allergic to the stuff. I finished the antibiotic a couple weeks ago and I used the ZapZyp yesterday and now, my face is really red. Can I put Benadryl cream on it? I can't take the pills and function.

when people take antibiotic they kill all the bacteria in the body-both good and bad- and we all know that bad will overtake the good given an edge- so what you need to do is take some acidolphus- it is a good bacteria that needs to be replenished due to the antibiotics- (when you have more bad bacteria you get yeast infections, but not always) your tongue may have a white coat on it as well- you can purchase it at any supper market now- do not take it at the same time as the antibiotic because it will remove the antibiotic from the blood- take your medication in the day and the acidoliphus at night- you can take this at any time even if you are not on antibiotics - the worst it will do is make you poo- you may always have a reaction the the benzoil, try to stay away form as many chemicals as you can- the acidoliphus will help with the acne as well--

benadryl cream might help, but I suggest that you either stop using the product, or wait a little bit longer after taking the antibiotics. Or you could try a benzoil peroxide with a lesser concentration.

I'm not a doctor by far - but I had a friend who had frequent bladder infections, and all she used to get rid of it was drinking cranberry juice.
Also if you're still feeling/seeing the effects of prescriptions you've stopped taking - it's possible that your liver is full of the toxins. Drinking plenty of water (8 glasses a day) or 4 cups of raspberry tea (spread out in the day for 4 days) helps flush the toxins out of the liver naturally.

According to acne.resource.com, if you experience burning, blistering, itching, redness, rash or swelling, you should discontinue it at once and consult a doctor. I wouldn't mess with that type of reaction or try more topicals that may make matters worse. Just call and talk with the nurse about it. Good luck.

Yes, you should be able to use benedryl cream. Any antihistamine should help, not just benedryl. Remember to moisturize your face, too--because the skin will probably start to slough off and this will help minimize flakiness.
Good Luck!!

You could maybe try taking an anti-histamine, check at your pharmacist, they will advise, Allergies to anti-bio tics is common, I am allergic to penicillin.
