When addressing dry skin and rashes, many people turn to hydrocortisone creams for relief.
After all, who wants to deal with unsightly rash and eczema when one cream can get rid of it.
There's a danger to it, however, and you won't hear about it from most dermatologists.
Prolonged use of these steroid-based treatments can lead to side effects such as skin thinning and increased susceptibility to infections.
MadeOn, on the other hand, offers natural, steroid-free alternatives that not only alleviate symptoms but also nourish and protect the skin.
Understanding the Risks of Prolonged Hydrocortisone Cream Use
Hydrocortisone creams, while effective in reducing inflammation, can cause several adverse effects with extended use:
-
Skin Thinning (Atrophy): Long-term application can lead to the thinning of the skin, making it more fragile and prone to bruising. (nhs.uk)
-
Stretch Marks (Striae): Extended use may result in permanent stretch marks, especially when applied to large areas. (nhs.uk)
-
Increased Risk of Infections: Prolonged use can suppress the local immune response, increasing the risk of skin infections. (webmd.com)
The Benefits of Natural Ingredients in MadeOn Products
MadeOn's natural skin care products harness the power of natural ingredients like beeswax and shea butter, offering a wholesome alternative to hydrocortisone creams:
Beeswax: Nature's Moisture Lock
Beeswax forms a protective barrier on the skin, locking in moisture without clogging pores. Rich in vitamin A, it supports skin cell regeneration and provides anti-inflammatory benefits, soothing irritated skin. (healthline.com)
Shea Butter: Deep Nourishment and Healing
Shea butter is renowned for its moisturizing properties, packed with essential fatty acids and vitamins. It helps soothe irritation, reduce inflammation, and improve overall skin texture. Additionally, shea butter supports collagen production, enhancing skin elasticity and reducing the appearance of fine lines. (amarenaveh.com)
Zinc Oxide: Skin Healing and Redness Reduction
With its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, zinc oxide aids in the healing of minor skin irritations, such as burns, cuts, and diaper rash. It promotes new tissue growth and reduces the risk of bacterial infections.
