Embarrassing Skin Problem

by Chris

Hi Nanette

Can you help? I recently bought some soap that seemed to dry my skin a lot, and this seems to have irritated the skin under and around my foreskin, making it painful and difficult to retract. I stopped using the soap immediately, and someone suggested I apply some mild hydrocortisone cream to soothe the skin, but after reading some things online I am worried. What can I use instead?

Thank you!

Hi Chris,

Commercial soaps are generally one of the primary causes of dry skin and irritation. They contain a number of harsh chemicals and toxic ingredients including alcohol which as we all know is extremely drying. I would definitely recommend NOT using hydrocortisone especially in such a sensitive area as you described. Steroid creams (even those listed as mild) can have severe side effects such as thinning the skin, leaving burn marks and even exacerbating the problem further. What you apply to your skin has a direct affect on the health and condition of it.

What you will need to use is a cleanser that is pure and gentle and contains absolutely no harmful additives but only natural, nutrient filled ingredients. Our FACE & BODY WASH is specially formulated to help begin the repair process as it relieves any dryness and restores balance and moisture to your skin. That should do it for you!

Please keep posted on your progress Chris.

Warm Regards,
Nanette
