How Would I Know If Steriod Cream Has Damaged My Sons Skin?

by Sharon

Hi Nanette,

I have a two year old son who has had eczema for over a year now, especially bad on his face. The doctors always prescribes steroid cream and now I'm afraid that this will have damaged his skin. I've stopped using them and am trying pure shea butter which seems to help other parts of his body but his face is still very bad. What do you recommend? and how do I know if his skin has been damaged by the steroid creams, or will it only show signs when he is older? And is there anything I can do?

Kind regards.

Sharon

Hello Sharon,

First let me say that I am so pleased that you have stopped using steroid creams on your young son. Steroid and hydrocortisone creams of any % concentration carry risks and side effects with them! These side effects 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. Rather than focusing on whether his skin has been damaged or will show signs of damage in the years to come, we will talk about how to rebuild the integrity and balance of his skin while repairing his skin 7 layers deep with health building ingredients.

You mentioned that the skin on his face has very bad eczema so here is the following recommendation I will give you for the proper care and treatment that is natural and long lasting. First, bath your son with our FACE & BODY WASH which is a specially formulated mild cleanser that contains only herbal ingredients that are organically grown and hypo-allergenic and safe enough for baby's skin. This will begin to add moisture to his skin and soothe the skin layers. After bathing, gently pat his skin dry with a soft towel.

Then gently apply our FACE & NECK THERACREAM as this is extremely important for his eczema treatment. This specially formulated cream will stop any itching while repairing and bringing balance back to his skin - restoring the normal function of the skin instead of just placating the symptoms. Remember that the most effective, specially formulated products are plant based, have a very rich emollient level and are loaded with nutrients.

At first, you can even add a bit of sterile water to his first few applications to thin the cream somewhat and gradually add less water until you are applying full strength. This cream is very soothing and will quickly reduce any redness and inflammation.

Please feel free to contact me with any other questions you may have Sharon and let me know how your little boy is progressing.

Warm Regards,
Nanette
