good acne product with sulfur

Walmart sells "Pomada de Azufre" sulfur ointment (yellow jar) for cheap,
and it works just as well as any other sulfur topical I've used. It's
heavy and smells (like all sulfur stuff), so it's good to use at night.
WOrks well.

Sulfur is good stuff. I get sulfur soap from Chinatown. I usually leave a
bit of residue on purposely.

OK, I have looked for that sulfur stuff from Walmart, and could not find
anything remotly close to it.
I do know that sulfur will help clear up acne, but am having a hard time of
finding it anywhere, and I do come from a large city. The closest thing I have
been able to find with sulfur in it is a masque called Queen Helene Mint Julip
Masque. I am looking for something that is going to work fairly quick.I am
starting my 4th week of antibiotics (Keflex 500mg twice a day) and Tazorac
cream, although I had to give up the cream as it totally made me break out ( my
doctor assured me everything will get worse before it gets better). I would
prefer to keep Accutane out of the picture, as my doctor told me this was a bad
drug (I was on it 20 years ago when I was 16). Any thoughts?

It is in the ethnic section. I don't know why Walmart does this, but
they tend to put ethnic hair and skin products grouped in one area of
the health and beauty aids. Lots of Spanish language labeled products
and African-American hair stuff and whatnot in this little section. My
local one has it by the shampoos, but I've seen the ethnic hair/skin
section on other aisles in other wally worlds. The pharmacist should
know where it is, I would think.

Here's a great page on sulfur products:

They also sell the pomada de azufre at dollar general stores.
http://surp.dollardays.com/detailview.asp?itemid=114883 (scroll down to
third one, iirc) has a pic of it. It's a yellow/orange labeled jar, you
can't miss it on the shelf once you know what to look for.
