Florasone Cream by Boericke & Tafel

[Guest guest]

If this Florasone cream is a hydrocortisone herbal-substitute, why don't we

hear more about its usage? Hydrocortisone is known for reducing facing

redness...

Suzi,

It's a shame... I've been blasted in private e-mail as well, but I've also

gotten sweet e-mails too ... but, for whatever it's worth, I'd like to

hear some feedback about Florasone. There is nothing that says doctors are

God, and I've had more than enough proof of that.

Suzi,

Thank you for this information... *smiles* my husband stopped of at

Walgreens on the way home hoping to find it, but couldn't... he asked the

pharmacist and she'd thought she heard of it but couldn't place it. Should

I just order this over the Internet perhaps? It's the cracks of my nose

that have problems too.

,

What exactly has the Florasone done to improve your face? Can it be used

with MetroCream at the same time?

a

> I started using Florasone about three weeks ago and have had fairly

positive results. Desowen and other cortisone creams were the only meds

that had worked up to that point. Now my seb derm is pretty much under

control except for the occasional dry patch. I never would have known about

Florasone if it hadn't been for the group and am very grateful.

I'm not Suzi, but I've found it at a health food store. It was in the

first-aid section, not the facial care section.

Suzi,

Do you know if there is any risk of using this product longterm? For

example, with Echinacea, you're not supposed to take it more than 5

days or it weakens your immune system. Are there any problems with

Florasone?

Also, it's a real shame you get hostile emails in response to your

posts on natural remedies. I hope that doesn't discourage you from

posting anymore messages on natural, alternative solutions. I

personally find it helpful to see both sides.

Thanks.

I find Florasone at my local Whole Foods stores. I

know some folks have bought it online... It's not

super expensive. ($7? $9? something like that).
