Baby Discoloration Of The Skin From Hydrocortisone Use


(Key West, Florida)

Hello,

I used hydrocortisone on my 4 month old baby's eczema spots and now he has 2 white marks on his little belly. It is very clear because his skin is a little dark. What can I do/use to bring his natural color back to those 2 spots?
Any advice is truly appreciated.

Hello,

Unfortunately, your situation is so common where doctors freely prescribe various strengths of hydrocortisone and parents realize (after using it on their child) that it leaves the skin discolored!

First, I'm sure you have stopped using the hydrocortisone cream as not only can usage produce the side effect of discoloration or hypo-pigmentation which is a type of damage to the skin layers, but steroid creams produce other harmful side effects such as thinning of the skin, easy bruising, permanent dilation of certain blood vessels, burn marks on skin, liver and kidney damage and a weakened immune system. Please do not despair, however, as the body has a great inner propensity to repair given the proper health building ingredients. Restoration of both hypo and hyper pigmentation of the skin takes patience and consistency.

Here is what I recommend to help bring your son's skin layers back into a healthy function and balance. First, bath him with our FACE & BODY WASH which provides a gentle but thorough cleansing but does not strip the skin of it's natural PH. It will begin the repair process deep down that his skin needs. Next, gently apply a light coat of our MY DAUGHTER'S HAND & BODY THERACREAM. This rich cream penetrates all 7 layers of skin to restore balance from the bottom up to the very skin surface. The natural ingredients will steadily restore the normal function of the skin. Both of these products are formulated with skin nurturing ingredients that replenish natural moisture levels in the skin. Just as the body responds to healthy, natural foods, the skin will also respond to health building, natural ingredients.

Please keep me posted on your son's progress.

Warm Regards,
Nanette

Dear Nanette,

I had the same issue after I used Cortizone.10 on my daughter's face( the right corner of her mouth). I thought the white spot would go away. But it has been there for a year. I was wondering if I could use the same products you recommended above, or if you have another recommendation?

Thank you so much!

Hello Wanlin,

The facial skin is much thinner than the rest of the body so you will want to use our FACE & NECK THERACREAM which is specially formulated for this more sensitive area, along with our FACE & BODY WASH.

Please keep me posted on your daughter's progress.

Warm Regards,
Nanette

I have the same problem my pediatrician prescribed hydrocotosone on my baby that's 10 months now for his eczema I had no clue it would do this to his skin and he has a bunch of lighter spots on his face. My son is mixed with black so they're very noticeable!
