Desperate With Eczema

DESPERATE I have scarring on my body and skin specialists said it would go away when I hit my teens - I'm 18 now and it's barely changed. Through desperation I used a tube of Betamethasone and was so excited about the results. I was warned of the side effects but I didn't care - it worked but the pharmacist now refused to sell me anymore and offered hydrocortisone instead. It clearly wasn't as effective but still worked. My mother looked into that cream and found out about the steroid content and took me off of it. The thing is I am desperate to clear my skin - what else could I use. I have tried all the herbs and 'safe' creams under the sun but nothing seems to work. Please advise, hydro seems my only option.

Hello,

I do understand how frustrating and desperate a skin condition such as eczema can make you. Without visually examining the scarring you speak of it is difficult to know if you are speaking of deep and indented scarring or skin discoloration from where your eczema cleared up but left its "mark". Take heart though, for the skin does have the capability to be repaired and restored to a large degree given the right ingredients and as long as you refrain from applying any more steroid cream to the area. I'm not sure if you realize that Betamethasone is a potent glucocorticoid steroid with immunosuppressive properties. You should know that using hydrocortisone or any steroid cream produces side effects which include: 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!

Repairing eczema or any skin condition and returning the skin to a healthy state takes "healthy ingredients" and drugs and steroids just cannot do this. To treat your eczema and begin to bring your skin layers back to a balanced and healthy state and function, I highly recommend the following:

Here is my strong recommendation to help your skin recover.

Wash only with a hypo-allergenic and gentle wash which contains absolutely no chemicals or ingredients that can be toxic to the skin. Our FACE & BODY WASH will provide this type of purity and will help bring your skin in balance. Then apply our MY DAUGHTER'S HAND & BODY THERACREAM which is a deep penetrating cream which will penetrate the 7 layers of skin and will promote optimal functioning of the skin processes. It will reduce inflammation and add much needed moisture as well as the vital health building ingredients necessary for repairing the skin. Consistency and patience will be needed to help your skin steadily gain back its texture and tensile.

Please keep me posted on your progress.

Warm Regards,
Nanette
