Dry Flaky Irritable Skin - Streoids Haven't Worked

by Mr. Jackson

Hi There Nanette,

I've been having real trouble with my skin ever since my local GP prescribed me Betnovate, (steroid cream). To make a long story short, I used the cream for far too long and instead of applying the cream to only the affected areas I took it upon myself to use it as an all over body moisturizer, ouch I can hear you say.....

Roughly 3 months later I realized the cream wasn't working so I went back to my GP who then prescribed another steroid cream.....

I now don't use any steroid cream and have started bathing in oats, chamomile flowers and chickweed. I use neem oil, chamomile oil and lavender oil with a baseline cream as a moisturizer...

My problem is that I can't seem to shift the dry, flaky,irritable skin. Do you have anything that may be suitable that can work as I'm now becoming very stressed and worried about it.

I do hope to hear from you soon,

Thanks for your time.

Damian

Hello Damian,

Thank you for contacting me with your question. First, you should know that continued use of topical steroid creams can cause the skin to develop a resistance (called tachyplaxis) to the medication. As a result, in order to have the desired medical effect, a stronger and more potent steroid may be needed, which may cause health damaging side effects. Specifically, long-term continuous topical therapy of Betnovate, which for our website viewers is an active topical corticosteroid, should be avoided as adrenal suppression can occur. Five days is the maximum period of use for such a strong steroid....so yes, ouch!! to the three months you had been using it!

I have to say Damian, as wonderful as the herbal baths and oils you are using are, they will not penetrate the 7 layers of your dry, irritated and flaky skin. When skin is dry it needs moisture and not oil along with a very specific ingredient called urea which is contained in all of our products.

Urea causes dry skin cells to "unpack" and expose their water binding sites, thereby enabling the cell to absorb and retain additional moisture while at the same time preventing water loss in the skin layers. If the skin is very dry and scaly, a large amount of the cream is taken up by the horny layer in order to restore needed moisture and bring back the skin's balance in disposing of dead cells and replacing them with new and healthy vibrant skin. We have placed our urea in a thick and rich cream with high levels of natural, health building ingredients which is what makes our products work so fast and effectively.

My recommendations for you are two of our skin repairing and health building products. First, wash with our FACE & BODY MOISTURIZING WASH as this will begin the moisturizing and repair process for your skin. Next, apply our HAND & BODY THERACREAM all over your skin. This hard working cream stops itching immediately, has anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties and penetrates the 7 layers of skin to unpack dry damaged cells and restore much needed moisture bringing a healthy balance back to your skin.

Please keep me posted on your progress Damian and let me know if you have any other questions.

Warm Regards,
Nanette
