Are you willing to risk your skin’s health by using steroids?
March 21st, 2009In school there was always one of us who was singled out for being the queen of acne. This was the case for my best friend Isabelle’s teenage life. When we were kids Isabelle got all the attention and would often boast of being the cutest girl in elementary school. This all changed in junior high as her face quickly resembled that of a squashed pepperoni pizza. The boys would run a mile!
It came as no surprise to me that Isabelle sought dermatological attention by her mid teens in order to curb the persistent breakouts of facial acne. Under the belief she was following sound advice she continually took the topical steroid medication her dermatologist prescribed. If only she knew then what she knows now!
Things soon got a lot worse for Isabelle after beginning the topical treatments she was prescribed. Within a short period her facial acne was now a secondary concern to the heavy outbreak of back acne, not to mention her rapid gaining of weight. Unsurprisingly during this period her self esteem was at an all time low and she soon began experiencing bouts of depression.
Seeing as she was my best friend, her health was of upmost importance. As someone who had always favored natural acne treatment over steroid use I began to research the dangers of her medication. Without too much digging I was shocked to discover her prescribed medication warned of side effects such as high blood pressure, poor immune defense, pancreatitis, abdominal pain, and sleeplessness.
THE BEST TREATMENT FOR ACNE
Engulfed with anger I looked a lot deeper into the issue and it all began to make sense. The worsening of her acne, her increase in weight, and developing bouts of depression were completely a result of the steroids she was taking. Armed with the information it took little to convince her of switching to natural acne treatment cream for her now adult acne.
After realizing the best treatment for acne was unsurprisingly the most natural, Isabelle gradually became her old self again. Her depression literally vanished as quickly as her weight and she found the most useful solution to her acne health to be a natural acne treatment gel known as Bioskinclear, a oil free product that assisted in removing her acne scarring, while reducing and preventing acne and rosacea. Things could have been a lot worse for Isabelle and nowadays neither of us stray from natural skin care solutions.
