Hydro-cortisone contribute to lines and wrinkles???Psoriasis and chemical peels?
admin August 17th, 2011
I use hydro-cortisone to help control my psoriasis on my face. Being out in the sun helps to keep my face clearer, but neither of them completely clear it up. I used diprolene which worked great, but it stopped my periods for 6 months, gave me multiple bloody noses a day, and caused hair loss. I don’t want to take any drugs that increase my risk of skin cancer. I’ll take my chances with the sun.
I have noticed that I’m getting fine lines on my face. I’m getting older, I get that. I haven’t used sunscreen in over a dozen years. What I find interesting is that I only have lines on my forehead where I’ve used the hydro-cortisone cream. It is on the inside part of the car, so it’s not like it’s getting more sun exposure then the other side. I also use salicylic acid face wash too. Of course I use it on my entire face.
I also have severe psoriasis on my scalp. Of course the sun can’t get there. If I perm or color it, the chemicals actually burn it severely. It all scabs up, sometimes bleeds for a day, then it is clear for about a couple weeks. Do you think a chemical peel would help the facial psoriasis?? Have you heard of anything that I could try???
I’m really sick of dealing with it. I’m very self conscious about it on my face. At least it isn’t visible in my hair.
