Allergic Reaction To Washing Powder - What Do I Use Instead Of Hydrocortisone?

by Miss Thornton

My son suddenly became allergic to washing powders - the areas affected are his penis and eye lids. The only thing that will stop the reaction is hydrocortisone cream which I see should not be applied to these areas. I have tried going back to our original washing powder but he is still getting this reaction. I am going to buy non bio powder tomorrow but is there anything else you can recommend as an immediate reliever?

Hello Miss Thornton,

Recognizing the trigger for your son's allergic reaction is certainly the first step in his recovery. Secondly, avoiding hydrocortisone cream is also very important. Hydrocortisone cream is a harsh drug that has very dangerous side effects as it is absorbed into the bloodstream. Eyelids and genitals absorb as much as 30% of applied steroid cream. Steroid side effects include: thinning and discoloration of the skin, easy bruising, permanent dilation of certain blood vessels, burn marks on skin, itchiness, perioral dermatitis, liver and kidney damage and a weakened immune system. Not only this, but steroid use almost always produces a "rebound effect" of the very symptoms you are trying to get rid of!

Here is what I highly recommend. First, know that many products on the market are loaded with harsh, drying ingredients that strip the natural PH. Have your son wash with our FACE & BODY WASH which will deeply cleanse his skin removing damaged skin cells and debris. Next, have him apply our FACE & NECK THERACREAM twice daily while focusing on the skin around the eyes. This natural and enriched cream penetrates all 7 layers of skin to relieve inflammation, relieve redness and itchiness and restore much needed moisture from the bottom up. His allergic symptoms will dissipate as balance begins to be restored. For the genital area, wash with the above mentioned cleanser and apply our MY DAUGHTER'S HAND & BODY THERACREAM.

Please keep me posted on your son's progress Miss Thorton.

Warm Regards,
Nanette
