Default Nature's Cure Acne Treatment

For the past couple few weeks I've been having really bad problems with my skin. My entire face has broken out in sort of a rash and when my eyes water my skin burns and I feel like scratching my eyes out. I was beginning to think that my face was out of wack because the season change and maybe it was allergies or something.

Well, my skin would clear up and then all of a sudden it would get really bad so I was trying to figure out what was making me break out. Lotion? Nail polish? dust?
I'd been low carbing and it seemed that I was actually gaining weight and feeling more like cr~p. I really started looking for the culprit of my breakouts and I realized I should look at my acne medicine box. Well, I've been using the over the counter "Nature's Cure" stuff. And wouldn't you know it, it actually says on the side that one of the ingredients is "Candida Albicans"

I think I'm going to faint. I didn't realize until then that I might have a problem with a yeasty overgrowth or something. I had my wisdom teeth taken out last year and I was perscribed antibiotics and a few months before that I had taken antibiotics for a lung infection. If there's enough yeasts in me to make my whole face break out I wonder if they're eating me alive !

I know for SURE that it is the Nature's Cure that is making me break out because I would forget to take it for a few days and that's when I'd clear up and I didn't realize that was the problem and I'd take it again and break out.

Soo... great I don't know what to do. I've been feeding my body yeast all this time. I'm taking acidophilus now and I'm waiting for my ooo to come in the mail. LOL

Just a heads up for everyone.. Nature's Cure has that nasty yeast stuff in it.

Thanks for the warning. Reading labels is a MARVELLOUS thing to do, isn't it?

OHMYGOSH SIRENCHICK!!! I had never even heard of candida albicans as an ingredient - how awful! Who told Nature's Cure that it would get rid of it? If anything, it would cause it.
What a horrible experience for you. Hope you are on the mend.
