Red Spots Over My Body...

Hi,

Im 14 and recently went to my local General Practioner because of some strange red spots over my body. He said he wasn't sure what it is but I should try using hydrocortisone cream so he prescribed me some to see if the spots go away. Should I use it?

Response To Red Spots Over My Body

Hi Katie,

It does not surprise me that your General Practioner did not know what your red spots were nor does it surprise me that he readily prescribed hydrocortisone cream to you. You see, generally speaking, hydrocortisone cream is most readily prescribed for just about any and every type of skin condition. This is unfortunate to say the least because of the detrimental effects steroids have on our bodies.

Whether to use your prescription cream or not is going to have to be a matter you discuss with your parents, however, you will first want them to read what I am going to share. My strong recommendation is that people should be on their strictest guard about over the counter as well as prescribed use of hydrocortisone. Strong chemicals such as these can penetrate sensitive or thin skin, cause an allergic reaction, and dangerously flood your bloodstream. Hydrocortisone significantly increased the chances of a number of viruses to infect human blood cells and has even been known to cause blood poisoning. Steroid creams have a number of possible side effects such as 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.

Below are my recommendations of our products and how they will positively impact your condition.

1) Wash 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 begin the repair process.

2) Then apply our HAND & BODY THERACREAM which is a highly therapeutic all over body cream that will quickly relieve and repair the red dots you are experiencing.

Finally, Katie, you will want to keep a journal of the different foods and activities you partake in daily to see if anything in particular might be triggering your symptoms should they return. Make a note and simply apply my recommendations again.

Please keep me posted on your progress Katie!

Warm Regards,
Nanette
