Burn Like Skin Patches From Cortisone Creams

by Belinda
(Australia)

I have had the itchy pregnancy rash 'PUPPPS' for over 12 weeks now which has covered my arms, legs, stomach and backside. My specialist prescribed Diprosone' a cortisone cream which I used ALOT (over 10 tubes), however as you can imagine my skin has become highly sensitive and paper thin in parts.

Patches are like they have been burnt and the only thing I can stand to put on it is pure vitamin E oil however, that doesn't seem to be even hydrating the skin and repairing.

Do you have any suggestions as to a moisture based repair cream like the lady above on your website - Charlene from Iowa mentions? Her daughter's marks sound just like mine.

Hello Belinda,

First, I have to tell you that I am shocked that your specialist not only prescribed such a strong steroid but allowed you to use over 10 tubes of it! For our website viewers, let me explain that "PUPPP" stands for Pruritic Urticarial Papules and Plaques of Pregnancy, which is a chronic hives-like rash that strikes some women during pregnancy. Although extremely annoying for its sufferers (because of the itch), it presents no long-term risk for either the mother or unborn child. PUPPP frequently begins on the stomach and spreads to the legs, feet, arms, chest, and neck.

Further, the cortisone cream you were prescribed, called Diprosone, is a topical corticosteroid containing a compound called Betamethasone dipropionate. Bethamethasone is a very potent glucocorticoid steroid that has immunosuppressive properties. Betamethasone dippropionate is 600 times stronger than hydrocortisone cream.

Because Diprosone cream can penetrate inside the skin cells very quickly, use of large quantities over large parts of your body should be avoided as large quantities may be absorbed into the blood stream, which could lead to serious side effects. Common side effects of using Diprosone may include allergic reaction, rash, irritation, acne, burn marks, itching, discoloration of skin, liver and kidney damage and a weakened immune system.

When the skin is badly damaged, it needs deep down repair and as nurturing as vitamin E is, what the skin needs for restoration is a strong humectant and repair cream, not oil. The two products I recommended to Charlene from Iowa are what I highly recommend for you Belinda:

First, wash with our FACE & BODY WASH which is a hypo-allergenic wash which helps the process of washing away the dead skin cells from the skin while providing a anti bacterial cleansing. This is critical in order to begin the healing process. Most soaps, even doctor recommended ones, contain harsh and drying chemicals that will only exacerbate the symptoms. Avoid these!

Next apply our MY DAUGHTER'S HAND & BODY THERACREAM which is a hypo-allergenic skin cream filled with health building ingredients. It will stop any itching while repairing the skin tissue 7 layers deep . It also has dynamic anti-bacterial, anti-microbial and anti-fungus properties to prevent potential skin infections.

The skin repair treatment should be plant based, contain shea butter, stop itching, fight possible infection, and repair skin 7 layers deep and be hypo-allergenic. This is crucial to getting "deep down" relief and resolve from your situation.

Please keep me posted on your progress Belinda. Also, please note that we refer all of our International customers to our sister website at: www.aim2health.com where you can order all of the same products as are available on this website.

Warm Regards,
Nanette
