Hopeless Teen Male With Red Oily Itchy Skin

Hi,

I am currently a very confused and depressed teenager. My story begins about 1 year ago when suddenly after taking some Ziana topical cream my face started getting red. I am a very active, outdoor kid with an olive complexion. My dermatologist told me this was just a side affect. I stopped Ziana but I was left with this random flushing during different parts of the day. It was terrible and embarrassing. I would feel like 200 degrees at random parts of the day and when I wasn't flushing bright red I still had a redness around my cheeks odd looking on someone with my color of skin. I then turned to Minocycline which I liked for a bit returning my face to its normal color being able to get tan again without burning (I think it took out the inflammation while being on it). I then turned to natural medicine out of desperation. I went to a very strick diet of brown rice, vegies, some fruit, and soy, and some meats. I cut out all gluten and a lot of sugar but not completely. My face is now left with this redness that has good days and bad days. I went to 5 dermatologists to see what they had to say. One said it was seborrheic dermatitis another said it was eczema with atopic dermatitis. The dermatologists said I have had eczema my whole life (the topicals just made it worse and brought it up) they prescribed me Desonide and I didn't take that. The only thing that seems to help is when I go outside and be in the sun but when there's a span of no sun then I'm ruined. I WANT THIS GONE!!!! Please, please help!

Hello Kelly,

I can understand how very confused and depressed you can be with all that you have been through. The truth is, is that the skin and body need and thrive on natural remedies that directly address the deepest part of the condition that exists. It is appalling to me that one of the most negligent thing my customers tell me is that most dermatologists just DON'T WARN OF SIDE EFFECTS when prescribing steroids and other drugs!

You should have been told that ZIANA contains clindamycin phosphate, an antibiotic, and tretinoin, a retinoid which can produce side effects that include peeling, redness, dryness, itching and photosensitivity and may cause diarrhea or colitis.

Minocycline is an antibiotic that can cause diarrhea, dizziness, unsteadiness, drowsiness, vertigo, tinnitus, headache and vomiting. Minocycline increases sensitivity to sunlight. Prolonged use of Minocycline over an extended period of time can lead to blue-gray skin (permanent blue discoloration of gums) or teeth discoloration. Rare but serious side effects include fever, yellowing of the eyes or skin, stomach pain, sore throat, vision changes, and mental changes, including depersonalization. Symptoms of an allergic reaction include rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, and trouble breathing.

Desonide is the generic name of a topical corticosteroid. Use of topical steroid creams can cause the skin to develop a resistance with greater 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!

I have two very natural and deep penetrating products that I highly recommend to you for your face. You can use them daily. First, what you wash 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. Use our gentle and pure FACE & BODY WASH that will deeply cleanse and balance your skin even before you apply our reparative cream which is an important feature.

Next you will want to apply our FACE & NECK THERACREAM twice daily. This hypo-allergenic cream stops any itching while it penetrates all 7 layers of skin to relieve inflammation and redness and helps to restore your natural balance. Both of these products are formulated with skin nurturing ingredients that repair, restore and replenish the skin.

Please keep me posted on your progress Kelly.

Warm Regards,
Nanette
