Body Acne

by Donna
(Melbourne, FL)

Hi,

My daughter is 16 and I have been taking her to a dermatologist for 2 yrs now and I am concerned that nothing seems to help her acne. She mainly gets large painful pustules right below her buttocks and between her legs on her upper thighs. She has been on 2 types of antibiotics and different creams for 2 yrs. Now they have decreased some but she still gets them and I worry about infections and the scarring that is now developed in those areas. She has very dry skin, she uses Cetaphil soap.
Any suggestions.

Thanks.

Hello Donna,

You mentioned that your daughter has been to a dermatologist for 2 years now and has been on different creams. I assuming these creams, (at least some of them) were steroid creams such as hydrocortisone and such. You should know that these toxic steroid creams product dangerous side effects such as thinning and discoloration of the skin, easy bruising, permanent dilation of certain blood vessels, burn marks on skin, 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!

Further, over the counter products such as Cetaphil, Aquaphor and Eucerin contain either mineral oil or petroleum by products. Any products that contain mineral oil or other petroleum based ingredients should be greatly avoided as they can actually increase the skin's dryness levels. These ingredients have NO usefulness to the skin nutritionally and in fact, the molecules are too large to even pass the pores of the skin so the cream just sits on top and literally suffocates these pores thereby causing further dryness and damage.

I have two very natural and deep penetrating products that I highly recommend for your daughter and she should use them daily. First, what she washes with is so very important and I can't emphasize this enough. Many products on the market today are loaded with harsh, drying ingredients that strip the natural PH of your skin leaving it further vulnerable. Have her use our gentle and pure FACE & BODY WASH that will deeply cleanse and balance out her skin even before she applies our cream. This is an important feature since your cleanser should leave you with a plus moisture level and not a minus moisture level!

Next, I strongly recommend our MY DAUGHTER'S HAND & BODY THERACREAM which she should apply twice daily until her skin condition is resolved. This cream will penetrate the 7 layers of skin and help unpack damaged cells, add much needed moisture and restore balance. It will further add a layer of anti bacterial and anti fungal protection as it repairs.

Please keep me posted on your daughter Donna.

Warm Regards,
Nanette
