I have being using Daktacort cream for two years now and it contains hydrocortisone and when I stop using the cream the eczema and all sorts of swelling come up on my face. Please tell me what I can use as a replacement for this steroid cream and what are the side effects of using Daktacort for this long and are they any remedies for this long usage?

Hello Tomisin,

First, I would like to explain to our website viewers that Daktacort cream and ointment contain two active ingredients, hydrocortisone and miconazole. Hydrocortisone is a type of medicine known as a corticosteroid (or steroid). What you must know Tomisin, is that if corticosteroids are used for long periods of time, on large areas of skin, delicate areas of skin such as the face, or raw or broken skin, they are absorbed into the body more. This increases the risk of local side effects such as skin thinning, and those on other parts of the body, such as a decrease in the production of natural hormones by the adrenal glands, swelling, skin irritation, redness, itching, burning sensation, rash and many times a fierce return of the condition. For this reason, continuous, long-term use of this medicine should be avoided wherever possible.

Here is what I highly recommend you use instead of harmful steroid creams. 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 will relieve the eczema, promote optimal functioning of the skin processes helping reduce inflammation and restore your skin while stopping any itching and providing an anti bacterial protection as well. All of our products are filled with just the right health building ingredients which is essential to the repair of the skin. Just as the body responds to wholesome foods, the skin will absolutely respond to healthy ingredients.

Please keep me posted on your progress Tomisin.

Warm Regards,
Nanette
