Cosmetic ingredients and irritation ?
Hi folks,
I just found out the hard way that folks with seb derm may need to be
careful about what we put on our skin. I ran out of nizoral cream, so
I tried some OTC miconazol cream that I had. Yikes…I must have had
a bad reaction to some of the ingredients because my face was red and
irritated the next morning. Now, I remember my dermatologist telling
me to be careful with skin care since even water can act as an
irritant to sensitive skin. I guess he wasn’t kidding. Here’s some
links to cosmetic ingredients that might cause problems:
Take care… Michael
