Pimples - Rash - Retino - Hydrocortisone Cream?

by Natsy
(India)

Hi Nanette,

I had tiny pimples on my forehead and corner of my lips. I used Retino 0.05%. Then I started having red rashes with a stinging sensation and it looks really ugly. I went to my dermatologist and she prescribed 0.5% hydrocortisone cream to apply twice a day for just 7 days but it seems like it had loads of side effects. Should I continue to use it or what should I do?

Hello Natsy,

For our website viewers I will explain that Retino-A (Retin-A) cream is a medication that works by forcing the rapid shedding of older skin cells for replacement by newer skin cells making skin appear clearer. However, you should know that there are side effects from using Retino-A (Retin-A) that can occur which your dermatologist should have warned you of. These include: warmth of the skin, blistering, swelling, lightening, darkening of the skin, red skin with stinging and sometimes red rashes, and an increase in acne.

Your prescribing doctor should also have informed you of special precautions you should follow such as: if you have a history skin conditions (eczema), use serious caution when applying Retino-A (Retin-A), avoid unnecessary or prolonged exposure to sunlight and wear sunglasses, protective clothing, and apply sunscreen. Retino-A (Retin-A) may make your skin sensitive to sunlight, and do not use Retino-A (Retin-A) on sunburnt skin.

As far as using hydrocortisone cream, I highly recommend you NOT use this as it can produce harmful side effects both externally as well as internally. These side effects include: thinning of the skin, easy bruising, permanent dilation of certain blood vessels, burn marks on skin, liver and kidney damage and a weakened immune system.

For your acne/pimples and the red rashes you have now developed, I highly recommend that you wash only with a hypo-allergenic and gentle body 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 FACE & NECK THERACREAM which is a deep penetrating cream which will penetrate the 7 layers of skin and promote optimal functioning of the skin processes helping to restore your skin while stopping any itching and providing an anti bacterial protection as well.

Please keep me posted on your progress Natsy.

Warm Regards,
Nanette
