AHHH Soooo itchy

[CA954]

So I've noticed people who've tried Product X: Dermasize have had itchiness and bumps on the applied areas. Two questions. First, has anyone noticed bumps anywhere else? Because most of my itchy bumps are appearing.. -well several on my right foot, which is where I initially applied the transdermal, but they're appearing on my ankles and achiles heel. To say nothing of singular bumps located on both obliques, abs, and one on each arm. Anyway, was this abnormal for anyone? Secondly, is there anything I can do to keep the itchiness and bumps down and not from popping up (short of stopping my cycle.. its only been 5 days)

From what I understand they're redoing their formula so it stops giving people this problem. Not sure how widespread the problem is, but a few people on here have talked about it.

Try to rotate application spots enough so that you dont use them more than once every 2-3 days, yes, you will need to use many spots....

I got rid of my rash by taking a full day off, and I wash the application site 2 hours after applying, I dont scrub, I just take the surface remnants away with dove soap.

I got the bumps pretty bad on my forearms cause I over used them as application sites since they are easy to use, and its now been 6 days since I used them, and Im completely clear.

Glad to know they're temporary.

I don't get bumps or rashes, but why the hell can't they make this stuff into a more controllable lotion. I squirt the stuff into my hand or on my chest and half the crap splashes out onto the sink. Just using thebottle it comes in, I have no clue of the dosage I'm taking cuz half of it doesn't even make it on me, then I compensate with extra squirts.

I don't want to use the dropper/syringe thing either as that would definitely draw some unwanted attention. Just make it into a lotion like a hand lotion that can be rubbed in.

I'm pretty sure someone mentioned a spray instead of squirt top for future bottles.

Why would it draw unwanted attention?

Pulling out a syringe in a gym locker room? Gee I don't know...

I've used a "spray" type bottle for a month before. Boy was I surprised when I looked at the wall behind where I was spraying it on myself.....

Looootion. Say it with me. It rubs the lotion on it's skin, or else it gets the hose again.......PUT THE ****IN LOTION IN THE BASKET!!!!

I see what you are saying but really you shouldn't have to be nervous about using legal products at the gym. dosing syringe or not.

Just push down on the pump slowly...be gentle, the dispensing of the liquid is not part of your workout.

Put it in your cupped hand one pump at a time, and then rub it in. Ive never lost a drop.

-And regarding the rash, Ive read that irritations return the second time more easily than the first time in cases of eczema and dermatitis so be careful when you clear up not to use that old spot too much.

Bump on the rash... Though my experience was more of a delayed onset rather then immediate. I had nothing for the first month or so of use, then about 3 days after i applied, that area of application would then breakout in itchy little bumps. I would be interested to see if their new formula works for this problem, as I was happy with the results from the product.

These itchy red bumps everyone keeps bringing up are hives, obviously you are having an allergic reaction to an ingredient in this product. I also am taking Dermasize and I experienced this within the first few days of using it, it seemed to only happen when I applied it to a new area because now when I apply it to these same spots I dont get a reaction. For me this reaction is easy to deal with because I have been battling a hive problem for years and I get them basically every time I work out. I have some kind of weird problem that when my internal body heat goes up my body responds by breaking out in hives everywhere it kind of sucks but I dunno I guess you learn to deal. I just pretend people are looking at me because they think I'm big haha that helps a little.
