Customers should be warded to test Zanfel on an unaffected part of the skin to check for adverse reactions. Also should be warned not to use on scratches or cuts!

Suffered some minor poison ivy rash for a week, and just put on cortisone creme. Then found Zanfel and its been great. Reduced itching and the rash is disappearing after just one day. Love the product!
