Are testosterone creams a good legal alternative to injectable steroids?
um|||if you keep putting testosterone into your body you%26#039;l stop making your own.
Does anyone have a cure for tennis elbow - tried CT cream which has helped - don't want to have steroids!?
And has anyone tried acupuncture for it please?! And did that help/cure it?!Have tried it for sciatica and it was brilliant!And wondered if it would work as well for this ailment!|||Unfortunately tennis elbow is a form of repetitive strain injury (RSI) and you can and do get this from working at at computer.
Contact the RSI Association for full information (google RSI). In the meantime, I found seeing an osteopath very very helpful, both for realigning the bones in the arms (if they are even slightly out this will create additional pressure on your elbow and wrist joints) and also for alleviating the muscle pain and reducing inflammation.
In addition to this, rest is good (yes I hear what you say about having to work....I%26#039;ve been there too on this one....!). You need to seriously think about all the things you use your arms/hands for in your life (housework, cleaning the car, gardening, driving, walking the dog, decorating.....) and CUT DOWN on everything. Simply cutting back on just the computer work is not enough, especially if you are using your arms/hands for other things. Seriously, a little rest now on all of it, will pay dividends in the future, don%26#039;t let it get so bad (like I did) that you are seriously hampered in all aspects of your life.
Apart from that, regular breaks (from whatever you are doing) are a good idea. I personally haven%26#039;t tried acupuncture, but it may well worth too.|||I suffered terribly with tennis elbow and like you did not want steroids, tho they are good. Ask your doc to refer you to have some remedial splints fitted. They are soft supports and they re-educate the muscles to return to thier correct position. The only thing is that for a while the splints cause a bit of pain but its worth it. I had this about 6 years ago and it has never returned. I had tennis elbow very badly so give it a go but you will need to persevere with it.|||Wise not to go down the steroid route as it is a short term solution with longer term problems. As you%26#039;ve tried acupuncture before with good effects, go there again. Acupuncture has a great track record with tennis elbow - as do osteopathy, chiropractic %26amp; homoeopathy.|||Rest - give your elbow a chance to heal!|||Stop playing tennis!|||Tennis elbow are strained ligaments from the hand to the elbow.I had it myself from taking a homerun swing but missed.Unfortunatlly it is a TIME injury.I had to wait 6-8 weeks.There is no fast cure and I know it hurts,its just a matter of time before it goes away.|||I went and saw a chiropractor which was the best help. He got me some sort of strap to wear on my arm. After being in pain for so long this really helped.|||Accupuncture can work wonders, especially as it has worked for you before. Alternatively, try a chiropracter - they sorted it out for my wife in just one visit!

Are testosterone creams a good legal alternative to injectable steroids?
actually yes
they are good but if u live in california they are illegal
they are absorbed through the skin and straight to the blood stream which is where u want them to go
this one is expensive but good

You can take steroids for muscle inflammation and asthma, for what I take them.

Giving Barry%26#039;s testimony to the SF Gate was a crime. When the judge in the case saw it in the newspaper, an investigation began to catch the culprit. When they caught the lawyer who leaked it, he confessed and was sentenced to 2.5 years behind bars. No lawyer would give up his license to practice law and plead guilty if he didn%26#039;t do it.

I discovered i had vitiligo, september 2006, and it was diagnosed last year i was given steroid creams but....
they did not work, slowly but surely the vitiligo is starting to disappear. it is only on the left side of my face starting from above my eyebrow to my jawline, im 19 year female with no history of vitiligo in the family, my questions are;
(1)Will the vitiligo be passed on to any future children?
(2)If the vitiligo disappears, what are the chances of it returning?|||Congradulation... If your get treat vitiligo by steroid Creams.
As for as concern with the vitiligo and chance of it to return again in you or in your children research say:-
Vitiligo may be hereditary in some cases. Children of vitiligo affected parents are more likely to develop vitiligo disorder. However, most children will not get vitilgo even if a parent has it. Also most people with vitiligo do not have a family history of the disorder.
Large number of inherited disorders are associated with vitiligo. They include: albinism of the ocular type, autoimmune polyendocrinopathy syndrome, congenital deafness with vitilego and achalasia, dyschromatosis symmetrica hereditaria, ermine phenotype, familial histiocyctic reticulosis, kabuki syndrome, and the syndrome of spastic paraparesis, vitiligo, premature graying and characteristic facies.|||I have had vitiligo for the past twenty years. I have never heard of it disappearing, I have 3 children and at the moment only one of my children has it. What did you use on your skin to make it go away ???|||www.vitiligosociety.org.uk

Can herpes be treated with the steroid creams typically used for eczema?

Any effective alternative remedies for eczema (steroid creams arent working)?
Hi my 3 year old daughter has lovely clear skin until about a month ago and now all of a sudden she has eczema (lumpy, itchy red rash) all down her arms, legs and on her cheeks. She has been prescribed 1% hydrocortisone cream and Doublebase but both seem to be completely ineffective. The Doublebase in fact, often makes her skin look more %26#039;angry%26#039;.
I took her to the doctors (for the 4th time about her skin) today and she has been given antibiotics for an infection that has got into a cut on her knee and caused lumpy painful sores with whiteheads down her leg (she looks like a right scab bag! :-( ). I am hoping that the antibiotics may be the cure she needs and that she will go back to having the lovely skin she had before, once the weeks antibiotic course has finished.
The doctor today said that there are no other remedies for her skin other than the prescribed creams but she is so itchy and uncomfortable-which as i said, dont apper to be working. Does anyone know of any other remedies that may help or soothe her skin? (preferably cheap ones!) Look forward to some effective, constructive ideas, thanks|||Eczeme is one of those conditions that GPs tend to neglect. Its difficult to treat at times, but she should grow out of it in time. Sometimes the most effective treatments are the simplest. I had the same as a child and my mother followed a religious routine for several months which soon cleared it up -
Twice a day (morning and night) cover her from head to toe in a simple moisturiser. If the duprobase isnt working then ask your GP for another. But do not use E45. Only put a very small amount of steriod cream on the bits that look the worst. These creams tend to be overused and less effective if too much is used.
Then at least once a day bath her in Oilatum bath oil. Let her sit in it for at least 10 minutes. The key to this is moisture. You have to keep her skin moisturised.
As well as this you might find that changing washing powders ASWELL will help. Change to non-bio or a powder designed for new borns is great. Try to find Filetti. Its what I used.
On top of that avoid all perfumed products, and avoid soap like the plague! If you do all this, eventually it will get better. The key is consistancy. Do it all the time and you%26#039;ll notice the difference. Good Luck x|||SPRING WATER! Believe it or not!

That should have all the answers you need. ^_^ They are mostly home remedies.|||ive just been to the dermatologist today it took 4 or more yrs for the doctor to refer me! your poor daughter i really feel for her , try to get referred asap , for now try using diprobase cream at night rub it all over its a good moisturizer too , im not sure if u can buy cotton gloves for youngsters but maybe you can get mittens (100% cotton) this might help stop her scratching in her sleep , a herbal alternative is Rhys Tox i found that quite calming its used for rheumatism but for some reason works well on skin prone to inflamed eczema.
hope this helps. x
Is it ok to take steroid pills, use steroid creams and take strong painkillers while pregnant?
My wife%26#039;s period is late and as we were not planning to conceive right now she has been taking regular steroid pills and using strong prescribed steroid cream on her hands. She also experiences terrible migraines at times and has taken strong painkillers, again prescribed, at least four times over the past month. We are concerned about what effect, if any, this could have on her pregnancy, which is obviously still in a very early stage. Any answers, or links to relevant pages, would be much appreciated.
Thank you.|||Only a Dr could answer this, but if you go to www.safefetus.com you can enter the names of her meds and it will tell you how safe it is during pregnancy. If it%26#039;s listed as a class D I would strongly suggest she not take them any longer until she knows for sure if she is pregnant.|||Better NO.
consulting a doc will help u.|||Come on ! What do you think ?|||All of what your wife has been using is unsafe during pregnancy. Even the hand cream. I couldn%26#039;t keep using mine once I found out I was pregnant. The strongest pain relief you can use is panadine.

Phimosis and Steroid Creams - Not working? What next?
I%26#039;ve had phimosis for as long as I can remember. I talked to my Doctor who suggested using steroid creams. I%26#039;ve tried two without any success:
fluocinonide cream usp, 0.05% 2x day every other
Clotrimazole and Betamethasone Dipropionate Cream USP 2x/day
I%26#039;ve been applying to foreskin and rubbing it in. I%26#039;ve also tried stretching. It%26#039;s been a few months now with little improvement. I%26#039;ve only been able to retract fully a couple of times, usually by accident during sex, but it feels extremely tight and uncomfortable. The head is also extremely sensitive... what should I do? Is circumcision my only option now?|||Circumcision is certainly not the only (or even necessarily the best) option.
Maybe you weren%26#039;t stretching it properly; see link 1 for some good instructions. It could also take 1-3 months for the stretching to work.
Maybe you should switch to a different cream, as there are many different kinds. It%26#039;s still the most cost-effective method for treating phimosis (link 2).
You can even try combining the stretching and the cream. Together they may work quicker and better than either one separately, though it may still take about a month. Just be patient.
But if all else fails, there are still other options (link 3). See the other links for some helpful info. Look at the last one in particular, it%26#039;s a blog by a guy who had a problem similar to yours and how he dealt with it.
By the way, the glans (penis head) is supposed to be really sensitive. But you can get used to that once you%26#039;re able to pull your foreskin back and wash under it and such. Good luck with everything you try!|||of course ... consult your urologist before applying any advice you develop from here...
well... since the precautionary measures are not effective to you ... (or you may try to wait a few more months before doing anything ... something might improve...) but if not .. then the last resort is circumcision...
the dorsal slitting is ... hmmm... something... but it even looks more unappealing...
make sure that you have several feedbacks for the professional who will do the circumcision for you (do not go to any non professional) ... this is a simple nonlethal procedure...
but it depends on your locality.. in some places... the doctors have performed several circumcisions already ... and thus they are more experienced in doing this... 搂
you will be able to have a more relaxed sex after several months then...|||It sounds like you%26#039;re one of the few with such a bad condition. That cream works in over 95% of cases.
There%26#039;s a minor surgery called preputioplasty if you%26#039;d like to avoid circumcision. Google it and you%26#039;ll find plenty of links on it.|||the other answerers have been very complete in answering, I just wanted to reassure you that the head IS supposed to be very sensitive, in circumcised men it does desensitise due to constant exposure, but they lose sensitivity. My clitoris, for example, is also very sensitive, it much prefers to be touched under its hood, but I wouldn%26#039;t wish it to be uncovered all the time or for it to be any less sensitive because its very pleasurable when the time is right ;) Also, as the others have pointed out, there are MANY less drastic surgical cures, dorsal slit and prepustioplasty are just a few of many option. Discuss it with a surgeon who is experienced in these areas and make it clear that you want to KEEP your foreskin. -Neb|||You can keep going and it might work after a while especially if you keep having sex that could loosen it.
If not there is a dorsal slit, they cut the foreksin and that loosens it, but you still have it there so your glans is protected etc. and it%26#039;s less invasive than circumcision.

Does anyone have a cure for tennis elbow - tried CT cream which has helped - don't want to have steroids!?
And has anyone tried acupuncture for it please?! And did that help/cure it?!Have tried it for sciatica and it was brilliant!And wondered if it would work as well for this ailment!|||Unfortunately tennis elbow is a form of repetitive strain injury (RSI) and you can and do get this from working at at computer.
Contact the RSI Association for full information (google RSI). In the meantime, I found seeing an osteopath very very helpful, both for realigning the bones in the arms (if they are even slightly out this will create additional pressure on your elbow and wrist joints) and also for alleviating the muscle pain and reducing inflammation.
In addition to this, rest is good (yes I hear what you say about having to work....I%26#039;ve been there too on this one....!). You need to seriously think about all the things you use your arms/hands for in your life (housework, cleaning the car, gardening, driving, walking the dog, decorating.....) and CUT DOWN on everything. Simply cutting back on just the computer work is not enough, especially if you are using your arms/hands for other things. Seriously, a little rest now on all of it, will pay dividends in the future, don%26#039;t let it get so bad (like I did) that you are seriously hampered in all aspects of your life.
Apart from that, regular breaks (from whatever you are doing) are a good idea. I personally haven%26#039;t tried acupuncture, but it may well worth too.|||I suffered terribly with tennis elbow and like you did not want steroids, tho they are good. Ask your doc to refer you to have some remedial splints fitted. They are soft supports and they re-educate the muscles to return to thier correct position. The only thing is that for a while the splints cause a bit of pain but its worth it. I had this about 6 years ago and it has never returned. I had tennis elbow very badly so give it a go but you will need to persevere with it.|||Wise not to go down the steroid route as it is a short term solution with longer term problems.

I discovered i had vitiligo, september 2006, and it was diagnosed last year i was given steroid creams but....
they did not work, slowly but surely the vitiligo is starting to disappear. it is only on the left side of my face starting from above my eyebrow to my jawline, im 19 year female with no history of vitiligo in the family, my questions are;
(1)Will the vitiligo be passed on to any future children?
(2)If the vitiligo disappears, what are the chances of it returning?|||Congradulation... If your get treat vitiligo by steroid Creams.
As for as concern with the vitiligo and chance of it to return again in you or in your children research say:-
Vitiligo may be hereditary in some cases. Children of vitiligo affected parents are more likely to develop vitiligo disorder. However, most children will not get vitilgo even if a parent has it. Also most people with vitiligo do not have a family history of the disorder.
Large number of inherited disorders are associated with vitiligo. They include: albinism of the ocular type, autoimmune polyendocrinopathy syndrome, congenital deafness with vitilego and achalasia, dyschromatosis symmetrica hereditaria, ermine phenotype, familial histiocyctic reticulosis, kabuki syndrome, and the syndrome of spastic paraparesis, vitiligo, premature graying and characteristic facies.|||I have had vitiligo for the past twenty years. I have never heard of it disappearing, I have 3 children and at the moment only one of my children has it. What did you use on your skin to make it go away ???|||www.vitiligosociety.org.uk

I have very bad eczema and i have been using steroid cream for 2 years... (elecon) does this mean i cannot grow anymore??????!?!?!?!|||Funny
Go see a doctor
I have heard that steroid creams (hydrocortisone) can "thin" the skin-what does this actually mean?
Is it harmful to use and over what period of time????|||Hydrocortisone is the same as the natural corticosteroid, cortisol, and is used to decrease inflammation in the skin. When applied to the skin it is absorbed into the skin cells. Here it works by preventing the release of certain chemicals from the cells. These chemicals are important in the immune system, and are released as a result of allergy or irritation. They cause blood vessels to widen, resulting in the affected area of skin becoming red, swollen, itchy and painful, as is seen in dermatitis or eczema. By decreasing the release of these chemicals in the skin, hydrocortisone reduces inflammation and relieves itch.
If corticosteroids are used long-term, on large areas of skin, raw skin, skin folds, or under airtight dressings (including nappies) 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.

Can steroid containing cream (treatment for eczema) also be treating little keloid scars? ?
URGENT.
I had 6 Keloid scars across my chest (used to have spots there) , these little keloids ( size of a spot) have appeared over a year ago. went to the Dr and nurses and they said come back and have to wait, can only get steroid injections if it worsens, but it will be next year and i want to treat it as soon as possible. Tried the scar gel but did not work and do not knwo where to buy steroid cream for scarring, so wonder if i can use ecxema steroid cream instead?
Thank you for your help, i have no self confidence.... thank you again.|||Here is how they are treating and curing Eczema and Psoriasis in Japan.

You can get the water in the United States too - place a add in your local http://craigslist.com and place a wanted add for 8.5 PH alkaline drinking water. They can also make the 2.5 PH acidic water used in this video at the Hospital in Japan.
Drinking the alkaline water is one key, the other is the 2.5 PH water applied to the skin disease, and it will go away in around 5 months.

Is there any ways to clear away ECZEMA without using steroid cream?
The corner of my mouth and below is red, dry, flaky and painful. I had this problem for 5 years now and it%26#039;s on and off. I have had been to many dermatologists and they prescribed the same stuff like hydrocortisone, fluocinolone, betamethasone etc. I depended on it regularly for the first year and the problem got cleared off. 2 years later the problem came back and I applied those creams and it went off for a period and then it came back again, it just goes on and off till the point I got very fed up and went cold turkey from steroid cream, I figured that those stuff would only darken my skin tone around my mouth. I went on trying out natural stuff like putting aloe vera etc and it only helps a bit. To cut the story short I found something that kind of cleared away the problem but it only lasted for 9 months and now the problem is back again.

Son on steroid cream for very tight foreskin?
my 3 year old son has recently been put onto a steroid cream to help fix an overly tight foreskin which is causing a few problems. hes been on it a few days and today noticed that he has developed a bright red line on the foreskin about 1/2- 1 cm and looks like the skin may be starting to split from the extra pressure. has anyone else had to use this cream and if so did it work or any problems?|||its from attention shall i say i think since hes a young one his skins still sensitive

But steroid creams do damage the skin, and the longer you use them, the worse the damage is. It actually thins the skin and causes ageing of the skin.
It%26#039;s very hard not to use them though because they work quite quickly. But they are not addressing the cause of your eczema. Eczema is often cause by nutrient deficiencies - especially Omega 3 - which can be found in oily fish such as salmon.
There are also topical creams you can use that don%26#039;t damage the skin. Coal tar works well for a lot of people. I have had it called LPC in Aqueous Cream (coal tar mixed with moisturizer).

Where Can I Buy Good Steroid Creams For Tight Foreskin In The Uk ?
I am not convinced local steroid creams will help this problem at all. See your GP, depending on the severity of the problem and your age, a foreskin stretch may solve the problem for good and all. ( It is done under anaesthetic!) You are unlikely to require a circumcision.|||It is available by perscription only so you have to ask your doctor. You also have to work some stretches into the routine when you use the cream, so why not try the stretches first.
Follow the information in the links below. Start in the shower and let the warm water loosen and relax the skin. You will see good results in two weeks with full and painless retraction in 3-4 months. After that you are set for life.
Circumcision is not needed in any way. Do not let the doctor even breathe the word.
Good luck.

Please help--I am pretty worried about taking this steroid cream the doctor prescribed?
He took zero medical history, only filled out form with name and address and insurance. No assistant took any medical history.
I was told I have eczema..I broke out in an extremely itchy rash on my calves after remodeling. He concurred it was probably an allergy (to the dust or possible mold stirred up) that went to eczema.
Natural treatments I tried did not help. I want to get rid of it as it is unsightly and itchy but I am worried about potential problems.
He ordered a steroid cream (betamethasone dip aug .05% cream) for 6 weeks. He said it would be a lot better in a week but if I discontinued it before 6 weeks, it may come back.
I have just been told I may have high blood pressure, I had a fasting blood sugar of 151 (but ai c was 5.9)..this means I am prediabetic they said, Also I have developed severe gout and have arthritis. I am also clinically depressed and long felt I had adrenal insufficiency due to high stress for 20 years and symptoms of this.
I read this steroid cream|||get a second opinion. See another doctor. Explain to them that you are wary of this cream because of your health history. I only read into the first part of your additional information because I%26#039;d read enough right there to know that the doctor made a mistake. Any time you have to watch your blood sugar or blood pressure a doctor should NEVER prescribe something that can throw your body for a loop.
The new doctor should take your medical history into account and either prescribe something to help keep your medical conditions in check (less preferred as this can cause problems, too) or even prescribe a different treatment for the eczema (preferred). Or he might find that it isn%26#039;t eczema at all.

There is an alternative to steroids, Tacrolimus, but as this works as an immune suppressant, it cannot be used if there is an infection, if you are exposed to UV or are having light treatment, or if you are having vaccinations for holiday.

It has been my experience that you need to stop a doctor in his tracks when he seems to be indifferent and affirm yourself to him. However, considering your lack of common sense reassurance in our medical evolution on medications, I suspect you may be some sort of ever constant complainer of illnesses, (hypochondriac). In that case, if you are, please allow the REALLY ill people the chance to see a doctor and minimize your visits.
I may be wrong, however, and if so, I guess you need to start taking your medications and kicking yourself for letting things get so bad!

Take Care and God Bless you.|||You know that cream will not hurt you. It will help your hands. It will keep the skin from cracking open so that you do not get an infection. It%26#039;s wise to use it. Also, try to take some zinc. This is great for the immune system and can clean chemicals out of the body that might be hiding. Also for high blood pressure take some magnesium and when you take these vitamins chew them up, instead of swallowing them whole. I hope that your doing good today Janie. I haven%26#039;t seen you in a while. Missed you girl. God Bless You.|||Hello there. Doctors know any other treatments for eczema except steroidal creams. Stay away from them. There are non-traditional (or - rather - traditional) remedies on the market. In my case the anti-eczema cream and spray from http://www.champori.com proved very effective: my skin cleared in just under 3 weeks! It is herbal (steroid-free) and works well. Try it. If it doesn%26#039;t work for you - it%26#039;s free: they offer money back guarantee.

I think a small dose of lead to the head would solve your problems in a flash. May I suggest a dosing larger than a .38? This may provide assurance that one dose is all you%26#039;ll need.
It has been my experience that you need to stop a doctor in his tracks when he seems to be indifferent and affirm yourself to him. However, considering your lack of common sense reassurance in our medical evolution on medications, I suspect you may be some sort of ever constant complainer of illnesses, (hypochondriac). In that case, if you are, please allow the REALLY ill people the chance to see a doctor and minimize your visits.
I may be wrong, however, and if so, I guess you need to start taking your medications and kicking yourself for letting things get so bad!
Penis rash and tough skin on penis after using steroid cream ?
well i guess it all started about 6 months ago when my hygiene was really bad and masterbated daily when i started to notice a red rash the skin was peeling of when it was dry and when it was wet it puffed up like a band aid like it wanted to much moisture on the left side towards the back of my penis reluctantly i went to the doc and he told me that it was just a bit of inflammation and gave me some steroid cream within days the rash was gone but during the time i was using the cream i noticed my penis was getting very stiff as in the muscle was growing if that makes sence i thought it was just the steroid cream because when i stoped using it went back to normal but the spot never really did the skin there is sort of rubbery to the touch,and now lately i have noticed that when i masturbate the day after i get 1-5 little red spots about the size of your smallest finger nail they go in a couple of days after not masturbating,oh yeah and my hygiene is much better now,my questions are why is the skin on the side so tough and what are the little red rash dots,after you finish reading this and understand it thanks |||It sounds to me like a reaction to your clothing as a rub point if you have a large penis, and you might want to check out not using fabric softener or change the type of laundry detergent that your are using.
I%26#039;m not sure what type of work you are into or what gets on your hands, but you may want to always give your hands a good soap wash B4 handling your package.
I really think that it is a contact irritation, and as your penis hangs to the right side in your pants, the left back side comes in contact with your clothing. That%26#039;s where the irritation is. when you jerk off, the flexing is the final touch to make it show sore spots which is what a reaction would look like. If you do work where you get some kind of solvent or grease in your pants, you need to be careful and change pants or underwear often because a solvent or metal heavy oils can cause cancer after prolonged contact.
You need to find the source of that contact irritation and get rid of it.
It%26#039;s really a good thing that you have a foreskin, or the head of your penis would be in contact on the left lower side.
Hope you are able to find the source, and am glad for you that you came to realize your hygiene, but it is something beyond that. I receomend as well, until you can find the source of the irritation, using vitamin E oil, as in capsules for eating. Take a capsule and do a pin prick to the end of it and apply the oil to the dry and irritated area. It will form a safe oil barrier, as well as cause softening to the irritated and toughening skin area. You still need to get rid of the source of irritation which is coming through contact with your clothing.
Hoping the best for you Man
Me! :- )|||The little red dots are the skin reacting to rough treatment. White dots are an infection that needs treating. Are you sexually active? Sorry to ask that but there%26#039;s an outside chance you may have contracted a low-grade virus or bug that under normal circumstances shows no sign of being there, but when the skin gets irritated, the bug flourishes for a little while until your penis settles down. I think it%26#039;s called %26#039;NSU%26#039;, for non-specific urethritis. Sometimes it goes away on its own, sometimes it needs antibiotics. If it%26#039;s still there after 2-3 days, go see the Doc.
Anyway... If you have a foreskin, Hygiene is crucial. Foreskins are great because the tip of the penis is protected and so much more sensitive during sex, but the downside is that it needs washing (underneath - peel it right back) twice a day, morning and night. Not too much soap or harsh soap - remember, it%26#039;s sensitive, and always make sure the soap is thoroughly washed off.
A white, soft, creamy mixture of dead skin cells, moisture, oil and other grungies (called %26#039;smegma%26#039;) is what you get if you don%26#039;t clean it. Smegma makes a perfect breeding ground for nasties. That%26#039;s usually the cause of an inflamed foreskin and sometimes causes urethritis.
Also, go and buy some KY Jelly. Masturbation is normal and natural for both genders, but the skin around both is delicate and sensitive - it doesn%26#039;t need or want rough treatment....
To be honest, I%26#039;d go get a blood test and a swab anyway. What ya got to lose?
You may have picked up some bug, and it%26#039;s best you remove that possibility. Don%26#039;t be embarrassed - it%26#039;s just another part of your body that needs care and attention!

Are steroid creams (Proctozone HC) effective in treating anal fissures?
I%26#039;ve had a stubborn anal fissure for awhile now. I finally went to see a gastroenterologist, who prescribed Proctozone HC (to be used internally). I%26#039;m supposed to use it for 2 weeks. But some websites say that steroid creams are ineffective in treating anal fissures. Any truth to this?
In addition to the cream, I%26#039;m trying to increase the amount of fiber I get, and am taking baths.|||I would have thought that steroids do no good at all for healing a wound. Keep your BM%26#039;s soft; that is the absolute best approach!

4 month old eczema returning with use of steroid cream?
Long story short, my 4 month old had a severe breakout of eczema, all over her torso and the rest of her (including head.)
After many trials of aveeno creams, vanicream, aquaphor, cetaphil, etc (moisturizing 4 + times a day) and less baths, changing detergent, mom is on elimination diet....
I was prescribed a .02% steroid cream for her to apply 2 times a day up to 7-10 days. I used it for four days and her skin was nearly almost clear as day. I then cut down after day 4, to only applying once a day. Two days later now, she has red appearing on the eczema spots again as if it%26#039;s starting to flare. I dont%26#039; want to keep using the cream but was I supposed to use it the entire 7 days? The pharmacist said just to use it until her rash clears which I did... but now she%26#039;s starting to spot again and I DO NOT want it to get to the point where it was a week ago.
I%26#039;m not sure if its%26#039; because i stopped the cream to only once a day or if it%26#039;s because I picked %26quot;corn%26quot; as the food to re-introduce into my diet after the elimination trial I have been on (no soy, dairy, nuts, corn, egg, wheat, etc.)|||I%26#039;m a holistic nutritionist, not a doctor (therefore no diagnosing or treating) but because you are asking at least partly a nutrition question . . .I%26#039;ll jump in here! Corn is one of the most allergenic foods and can be quite problematic with skin issues, particularly eczema. I would suggest eliminating it again and seeing if things clear up (and maybe leaving it and soy and diary out for a longer period of time).
You may want to talk to the pharmacist to clear up any misunderstanding re: the cream you are using as well.
As well, if you are using other products on your baby%26#039;s skin, some of those products may be making things worse. If they have synthetic chemicals (i.e. parabens), the ingredients can provoke a response in the skin or make the skin drier. You may want to check EWG%26#039;s Skin Deep Data Base and check out any products you are using on their rating system to see if maybe switching to a natural or certified organic product for baby%26#039;s sensitive/dry skin might help (I like Miessence%26#039;s Mother and Baby Range).
Finally, eczema is often at least partially a response to an essential fatty acid deficiency. Be sure you are getting enough omega 3 (i.e. salmon, flax or cod liver) and healthy omega 6 oils (i.e. evening primrose) each day (you can even poke open capsules of each and rub them on your baby%26#039;s skin.
Good luck and be persistent. Eczema can be a pain to deal with but sounds like you are determined to do what it takes. Good job!|||What kind of laundry detergent do you use? It might not be caused by anything you eat, but by the detergent you use on her clothes. Try something that is labeled %26quot;free and clear%26quot; of fragrances and dyes.

Is there any ways to clear away ECZEMA without using steroid cream?
The corner of my mouth and below is red, dry, flaky and painful. I had this problem for 5 years now and it%26#039;s on and off. I have had been to many dermatologists and they prescribed the same stuff like hydrocortisone, fluocinolone, betamethasone etc. I depended on it regularly for the first year and the problem got cleared off. 2 years later the problem came back and I applied those creams and it went off for a period and then it came back again, it just goes on and off till the point I got very fed up and went cold turkey from steroid cream, I figured that those stuff would only darken my skin tone around my mouth. I went on trying out natural stuff like putting aloe vera etc and it only helps a bit. To cut the story short I found something that kind of cleared away the problem but it only lasted for 9 months and now the problem is back again.
Am I doomed to use back steroid cream?
Is steroid cream the only way to clear the redness and pain at the corner of my mouth and chn area?

Doctor recommended putting a small amount of steroid cream on pimples?
I have a big event to go to this Saturday with my husband, and this morning I woke up to THREE jumbo zits on my face!! In such emergencies as this I usually go to my doctor who does a steroid injection and they are gone overnight, but my doctor was booked up and instead prescribed me a steroid cream (the same my daughter uses for her eczema) and said to put a small amount on the affected area. Two of the 3 pimples already popped accidently when I was washing my face, so I don%26#039;t know if that is a good or bad thing either. Will this work as well as the injections? Has anyone else ever done this?||| I am sure the shots would work better since they go under the skin and the cream is a topical, which might take a little longer but in the end have the same results. For your special night,there is a quick fix to get you through the night. Preparation %26quot;H%26quot;! Thats right. Just like it shrinks hemmoroids, it will shrink the bump/zit and make it less noticeable. |||I myself have never used a steroid creme for zits, but I have a friend who does, and she swears that it works really well to get rid of pimples.|||No it will not be as good as the injections but it can work. Don%26#039;t worry if some have popped because there is nothing you can do about it. But never try to pop a zit. It only cause inflammation which will take longer to heal.
Call and ask you doctor if they have samples of either Duac or something similar. (Ziana or Differin) Those should help dry those pimples up fairly quickly. Only use a tiny amount on the pimple only, as they can dry the skin and cause flaking.
Good luck and have fun!

Is it dangerous for an infant using steroid cream and aquaphor to put hands in her mouth?
My 5 month old daughther gets eczema very badly on her hands and face. My Dr. switched her to Alimentum and prescribed steroid cream. The Alimentum is not controlling it, it comes back if i don%26#039;t apply once a day, although her face is cleared up and only needs the cream once a week or so. The alimentum is agreeing with her, no gassiness or acid reflux anymore. however, i put the steroid cream onher hands at night and i use aquaphor a lot during the day and my daughters hands are always in her mouth. tried covering them, not an option...is it dangerous for the cream and aquaphor to be on her hands that are in her mouth. has anyone tried Nutramigem instead of Alimentum for a situation similar to this.....When its bad on herhands she itches them and they puss and bleed. Thanks|||call the doctor and or the pharmacy for best results.
good luck, that must be very hard for you both.|||I would talk to the doc about it .

I think I have Phimosis...any steroid cream alternative?
I%26#039;m 18 years old, and jsut recently realized that I have phimosis. My foreskin is EXTREMELY tight at the end, as in it%26#039;s not uncomfortable at ALL but the hole at the end is very small. I can%26#039;t even get it to retract over a quarter of the head. I don%26#039;t want to try something crazy like just attempt to stretch it fast, as I don%26#039;t want to end up with paraphimosis.
I read that there are steroid creams that doctors can prescribe which are effective in curing this over 90% of the time. Are there any alternatives? I%26#039;d rather not talk to my parents about this (anything like this is extremely taboo in my household)...and I%26#039;d rather not see a doctor as I%26#039;m not sure how my insurance and everything works (so I don%26#039;t want it to be charged and have my folks find out).
What I basically need is an over-the-counter alternative cure for my condition...any help is greatly appreciated!|||Well the best bet would be to talk to your parents, If they are immature and don%26#039;t want to talk to it about you than that is a bad example upon you. if you don%26#039;t want to talk to a doctor then try a friend and get them to come to the doctor with you so its less awkward. no one in this discussion can stick there hand through the computer and hand you any kind of cream, you have to check with a doctor, don%26#039;t be embarrassed about it, at least it%26#039;s nothing like you have car keys stuck up your *** or something like that :P.
Best of Luck,
-Logan :)|||I think hydrocortisone cream is the one you can buy from a general store which works almost as effective as the one doctors prescribe.|||Cool, go see the chemist.|||You do want to stretch it. You can%26#039;t just put the cream on it and it will fix everything. No you HAVE to do stretching along with the cream use.
And you can%26#039;t get a cream without a doctor. Steroid creams MUST be prescription.
The only thing you can do is lightly stretch it out over time. Get a full erection and then pull the skin as far back as you can WITHOUT pain and hold it there for 5 mins and then do that 3 times a day.
Honestly if you are 18 years old and can%26#039;t do this on your own because you are scared of your parents knowing it%26#039;s time to grow up a little. Seriously, you need to approach them and just say something. There are worse things you could have to tell your parents

I read that there are steroid creams that doctors can prescribe which are effective in curing this over 90% of the time. Are there any alternatives? I%26#039;d rather not talk to my parents about this (anything like this is extremely taboo in my household)...and I%26#039;d rather not see a doctor as I%26#039;m not sure how my insurance and everything works (so I don%26#039;t want it to be charged and have my folks find out).
What I basically need is an over-the-counter alternative cure for my condition...any help is greatly appreciated!|||Well the best bet would be to talk to your parents, If they are immature and don%26#039;t want to talk to it about you than that is a bad example upon you. if you don%26#039;t want to talk to a doctor then try a friend and get them to come to the doctor with you so its less awkward. no one in this discussion can stick there hand through the computer and hand you any kind of cream, you have to check with a doctor, don%26#039;t be embarrassed about it, at least it%26#039;s nothing like you have car keys stuck up your *** or something like that :P.
Best of Luck,

You can%26#039;t just put the cream on it and it will fix everything. No you HAVE to do stretching along with the cream use.

Dermatitis around anal area. Using steroid cream but I think food is causing it. Maybe milk and cheese?
Dr. said I have dermatitis around anal area. Going on for 5 months and I am beginning to think the cause is milk, cream, and foods with lactose. I haven%26#039;t been able to tolerate milk for years but I went on a diet and started to eat a lot of low fat ice cream, skinny cows, creamer in coffee, cottage cheese, low fat cheese and I think I overdid it. I use steroid cream now and desitin which seems to help but it never goes completely away. Anyone else out there hear of this?|||Have you tried non allergenic toilet paper?|||Don%26#039;t use the steroid cream for too long; your skin will thin and become dependent on it. You can use the desitin forever if you need to.
If it is caused by the milk products, you may have experienced some diarrhea when you ate them. That might cause some irritation to the skin.
Try lactose pills if you must eat dairy. Better yet, find something else to eat for your diet.
If you avoid dairy for about a week, you should notice an improvement.
Get some live acidophilus (the kind that must be refrigerated) from a health food source. That will help normalize your digestive tract, too, thus eliminating some of the irritation.
Good luck.

Has anyone used a topical steroid cream?
maybe this title will get answers instead .
has anyone used locoid ointment or any other type of locoid ??? answer asap !?
i used locoid ointment for one week on a lot of dry cracked broken skin on my face (i think it was a misdiagnosis of sebhorreic dermatitis) and my skin has gone haywire ever since ! it%26#039;s better than it was a couple of months ago but my skins just not the same as it used to be ... im breaking out and my skins weirdly dry, tight, and oily at the same time :( whats happening, and has it happened to anyone else ??|||you sound like you had an alergic reaction, tell the doctor that you want to try selenium sulfide, it help with what you have, as for you face to help it from cracken or hurting, try some benadryl cream, and dont use alchole pads to clean it

Worst case poison ivy, Prednisone, steroid shot & topical steroid cream - is the cure worse than the problem?
I%26#039;m 45 and this was my worst case of poison ivy. I had an extra pack of the 5-day pills and started taking them when I got home from the exposure. A week later, it was horrible, oozing, major blisters all over my legs and arms, a little on my face. Finally went to the doctor on 7th, she was sympathetic, gave me a shot, a 12-day step-down of Prednisone - 6 for 2 days, 5 for 2 days, 4 for 2 days, 3/2/1, along with the topical steroid to apply to the wounds. After a few days I had my second menstral cycle of this month :-( Then extreme joint pain in my left ankle one night. Last night I woke up at 3:30 in extreme pain, had to get up and almost couldn%26#039;t carry my weight on that leg, ankle and knee joint pain. I have 2 days left at 1 pill each day. I am reading all of these negative things and wonder if it would have been better to suffer the poison ivy !! I should finish the last 2 days, right? And will the joint pain stop waking me? Can I take Benadryl safely to sleep?|||You can absolutely take the Benadryl. It%26#039;ll actually help with the histamine reaction from the poison ivy. And you most certainly want to wash your hands every time you touch your body because that%26#039;s probably how the poison ivy spread so crazy. Also you might want to use Caladryl lotion (half calamine, half benadryl) on it. Witch hazel may help dry out and crust over the poison ivy too. You can also try bathing in Aveeno oatmeal baths. When I had poison Ivy as a kid, I remember those baths feeling so good on my skin. I hope you feel better soon and the side effects of the prednisone will be over soon. It%26#039;s best to wean completely off them than to stop abruptly.|||I would think it would be safe to take the Benadryl. I would call your doctor though asap. You may be having a reaction to the prednisone. I don%26#039;t think you should be feeling joint pain with poison ivy. There is something definatly wrong there. Good Luck and please dont wait. Maybe go to ER. Don%26#039;t take a chance.

Can I use steroid cream on a rash around my new tattoo?
I got a wonderful new tattoo 5 days ago, and it is healing nicely with one exception. The tattoo itself looks great, is even almost thru the healing process, but I have developed a rash around one side of it- the rash looks similar to a sunburn and is very itchy- but it is not on the actual tattoo at all. I went by the studio, and turns out my artist is on vacation. Another artist in hte same studio suspected it was a reaction to the lubriderm I was using, so I switched to cocoa butter, but this made no difference. I have some steroid cream I have used for poison ivy and various things in the past, and am wondering if I can use this, or if it will harm my new tat. This is my 5th tattoo, no new colors- I know color ingredients vary, but I have never been allergic to anything in my life, and I am pretty sure if it were an ink allergy the actual tattooed area would be having a problem. Thanks for any advise!!|||You could always go to your doctor and get a steroid shot instead. It%26#039;ll work just as well, and you won%26#039;t have to worry about any bad reaction to your tattoo from any topical cream.|||absolutely not.
i suggest A%26amp;D which you can find in the baby section of any store. not to mention the fact that most tattoo shops will suggest that you use that on your tattoo as well.
A%26amp;D will help heal rash, burns and so on so it is a good remedy for both you and your tattoo.|||Hell No!! the best thing to use is Aquaphor it is awesome and speeds the healing. Just make sure you are washing the tat with soap and a very THIN layer of Aquaphor and in about a week you will be good to go..... I have 8 tat%26#039;s currently.|||I wouldn%26#039;t, it could pull the color out.
As far as Lubriderm being the culprit, that is doubtful,.. and evidenced by the fact that there was no change when switching to cocoa butter. (both products should be safe and you should not have any reaction to either)
I would keep it clean with antibacterial soap, clean paper towels, and a light coating of moisturizer (unscented, mild, maybe something for babies, but not a petroleum product)
You are past the worst of the fresh healing part, if you can tough it out until closer to 2 weeks, I think your tat will be o.k., and then you can use something for the rash if you still have it.
Use ice, and Ibuprophen and/or benedril. Good luck.
