Do Steroids Get Rid Of Eczema?

Eczema products such as topical steroids are what most people use to treat eczema but what if there were a way to cure eczema? That is exactly what Eczema Free Forever does! When my eczema flared-up, I was told to apply topical steroid creams to reduce the itchy, irritated, inflamed skin, and that incredibly overwhelming need to scratch it, which was supposed to allow it to heal. Steroids naturally occur in our bodies to regulate both growth and immune function so I figured it was safe to use like most people do. After years of using those nasty, greasy, smelly steroid ointments and creams that would either work for awhile or never work at all, I decided to do my homework. Through research, I found that health experts have associated topical steroid use with:
•Skin atrophy
•Permanent stretch marks
•Liver damage
•Eye damage
•Birth defects
•Cancer
•Adrenal suppression

Well that’s bad enough for an adult like me, my spouse and my 20 year old son but what about infants and children?  I also have an 8 year old son and a 2 year old granddaughter and what I found out next scared the pants off me!  Children and infant have a higher ratio of body surface compared to their body weight, so they are more susceptible to steroid absorption. So, if large quantities of these steroids are use too frequently, used inappropriately under a diaper or other covered area, or is on certain areas of skin such as raw, thin skin on the face, genitals or areas that rub together, then it increases the potency and absorption into the skin. Also, if a child is given steroids by mouth, in large doses or long-term, then the absorption into the bloodstream can cause prolonged adrenal suppression, growth suppression (height), weakened immune responses and reduce the body’s production of natural corticosteroids.

If that wasn’t bad enough I also discovered if topical steroids are used for long periods, they can occasionally cause a temporary, mild increase in fine hair growth in the treated areas, although this is rare, and frequent scratching can also cause a temporary, mild increase in fine hair growth.  Ladies we all know that the only place we want hair growth is on top of our heads!  That was the last straw.  I had to find a natural eczema cure!
