Steroid Use - Dry Skin Under Eyebrows

I have been taking Dexamethasone for 8 months to calm my adrenal glands and hormones down. I have been off of the steroid for 1 month. I take a multivitamin, vitamin d3 and biotin and am using Rogaine topical due to hair loss. I have been having dry skin under my eyebrows for months and months. I haven't used the hydrocortisone liquid for too long and have used it sparingly but won't anymore. I don't know if the steroids have exacerbated my dry skin. Previous to my hormonal problems my eyebrows were fine but now I cannot stop the dry skin from under my eyebrows and don't know what to do? Help if you can. Will the steroid effects wear off ever?

Hello,
It is a very wise decision you have made to go off of Dexamethasone after using it for 8 months. For our website viewers, I will explain that Dexamethasone is a potent synthetic member of the glucocorticoid class of steroid drugs. It acts as an immunosuppressant and is 20 to 30 times more potent than the naturally occurring hormone cortisol and 4 to 5 times more potent than prednisone. You should know that if dexamethasone is taken over a period of more than a few days, side-effects common to systemic glucocorticoids can occur which include: *stomach upset *diabetes *immunsuppressant action *irritability *osteoporosis *muscle atrophy *fatty liver degeneration *hypertension *glaucoma and cataract * dry scaly skin, acne, allergic dermatitis, impaired wound-healing, increased sweating, rash, thin fragile skin, thinning scalp hair

Very possibly the steroids have either caused or exacerbated your dry skin problem under your eyebrows. I have two very natural products that I highly recommend to you. Know that many products on the market are loaded with harsh, drying ingredients that strip the natural PH. Our FACE & BODY WASH will deeply cleanse and moisturize your skin removing old skin cells and debris. Next, apply our FACE & NECK THERACREAM twice daily while focusing on the dry skin under your eyebrows. This natural and enriched cream penetrates all 7 layers of skin to unpack dry, damaged cells and restore much needed moisture from the bottom up. Dry skin symptoms will dissipate as balance begins to be restored.

Internally, I recommend cleansing and high nutrition as this impacts our lives and health greatly! Take our INTESTINAL BOWEL CLEANSER which removes impacted waste matter and toxic build up as well as assist in cleansing the liver and kidneys while building the immune system as well. Follow with our GREEN POWERHOUSE which provides the body with the widest array of vitamins, minerals and enzymes needed by the body to repair and replenish and promotes healthy cell growth and development.

Finally, I must warn you about Rogaine! To maintain new hair growth, you MUST continue to use the drug Rogaine EVERY DAY for the rest of your life. If you stop treatment, your hair will return to its pre-treatment growth pattern. Side effects include: difficulty breathing; closing of the throat; swelling of the lips, tongue, or face; or hives, chest pain, irregular heartbeat, and dizziness.

As a natural method of rejuvenating the scalp I recommend the following: At night rub in our therapeutic DOUBLE STRENGTH THERACREAM into the scalp. It penetrates the thicker skin of the scalp deeper and faster and is rich with nutrients and will unpack any congested areas on your scalp. Allow the cream to absorb overnight into the 7 layers of scalp tissue. Next, wash your with our HERBAL SHAMPOO TREATMENT which will help your scalp regain a healthy balance and hair growth once again. Please keep me posted on your progress.
Warm Regards, Nanette
