Try a micronized creatine and also make sure it contains a creapure stamp of approval. If the irritation still occurs after that then I suggest you stop using it as all together.

Ibiza I used the USN micronised Creatine Monohydrate. It's so weird because I've used this stuff before and never had this issue. Others have also reported that they used it for years and then suddenly they get a reaction.

could be some form of contamination if its a used tub, try a new tub and see if it still happens

Yeah I'm hoping it was just a used tub. I will try a brand new tub on Friday and see if it happens again. Expiry on the new tub says 2018.

@BigBoy I personally have noticed a lot of impurities with USN products. Nutritech and/or Evox have so far been my best bets for local brands.

What I find confusing is that I opened this tub last year and I used alot of it and had no issues. There was only about 5 x 5g scoops left in it. I'm not sure if its possible that it got contaminated or went bad because I kept it so long after opening its seal before finishing it. I'll wait a few days and try the newly opened tub. Then if I get a reaction from that tub I'll give it a few weeks before using another brand's creatine.

if its sitting around for a year its deffs gone bad regardless of the expiry date. Any form of moisture that seeps into it can cause bacterial growth

Well I'm hoping that's the reason. I'm actually shocked at how many people have had this problem around the world. I'm taking meds so I'm a bit off track with my eating today. Oh well, I'll get my mind right soon as possible.

my hubby just had a serious reaction this morning - hands and face swelled up and when he got to the doc his pulse was abnormal - doc said his body was going into shock - so it wasn't a normal rash and hives reaction - was rather severe
