"I had 3 flea bites on my lower leg, and they were very itchy. I put some zinc oxide ointment on them before bed. It contained 20% zinc oxide, mineral oil, and petrolatum. The next morning, the bites had red striations around them that looked like broken blood vessels. I wiped off whatever ointment was left, and the red marks finally dissipated over the next 4 days or so. I contacted the company to ask them if the product contained nano-sized zinc. They said it didn't. I have never had a reaction to mineral oil or petrolatum, so I assume it was a reaction to the zinc oxide. I won't use it again."

"I am 24 years old and had very big chickenpox spots, so I used Sudocrem containing zinc oxide to dry the spots after the first day of my chickenpox. I also used it when I terribly burned my hand during cooking. In both cases, it totally helped to calm down my skin condition and help it heal faster."

"I have some facial scar tissue from a dog bite, and it generally looks reddish. I also have allergies to fragrances, and I have very sensitive skin. A friend suggested that I try zinc oxide to reduce the redness, and it has worked tremendously for me. I use it around my nose and chin area, and I think the scar tissue looks minimal and the redness is much less. I am using it nightly now."
