I have just been reading kelou's blog: “The Boy, the Greek Fire and Me,” about her struggle to help her son who suffered badly at the hands of the steroid creams.
The picture of the boy struck a chord with me, because I have been in the same situation as him and know how awful and unnecessary this thing is. Something as simple as labelling steroid creams correctly would go a long way to preventing people from getting steroid induced dermatitis in the first place.
We need to campaign for better labelling of steroid creams. This is particularly important when these creams are used on young children. Better labelling would enable parents to see exactly how long to use the creams for and make them aware that prolonged use of these creams can lead to addiction.
Visit the blogs on my blog list. Each person has a story to tell about how steroid cream addiction has affected them.
