There are many common side effects of topical hormonal medications, including
Skin damage.
1.Dark spots on the skin.
2, skin wrinkles.
3, rosacea-like dermatitis.
4, acne-like dermatitis.
5, subcutaneous elastic fiber breakage leading to skin laxity.
6.Severe dilatation of capillaries (“red blood”).
7, diffuse dilatation of microscopic blood vessels, especially in the presence of hot and cold stimuli such as skin redness, itching, rising.
8, increased skin sensitivity (both skin after the use of hormones, more likely to appear allergic), the
9, premature aging of the skin;
10, the skin pores are enlarged.
11, the skin appears abnormally increased, thickening of the “sweat hair”.
12, hormone-dependent dermatitis (which is the most difficult one to cure among the side effects of hormones) and more than 100 kinds of side effects.
In vivo damage.
Long-term topical hormones can also be absorbed into the blood circulation through the skin, causing diabetes, hypertension, osteoporosis, aseptic osteonecrosis, obesity, hirsutism, acne, sodium retention, edema, reduced blood potassium, menstrual disorders, gastric and duodenal ulcers and other diseases.
Side effects of internal or injected hormones.
Injecting or taking large doses of hormones for a long time or for a short time may cause some damages to the kidney itself, such as aggravating glomerular disease proteinuria, aggravating glomerulosclerosis, easily causing kidney calcification or kidney stones, inducing or aggravating kidney infectious diseases, causing hypokalemic nephropathy and polycystic nephropathy, etc. Longer doses of hormones can also cause a series of disorders in the metabolism of sugar, protein, fat, water and electrolytes and thermoregulation, which can destroy the body’s defense system and inhibit immune response, and seriously inhibit the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, thus causing a series of more serious side effects and complications, some of which can directly threaten the patient’s life.
Contraindicated areas for hormones: face, breast, groin, armpit, perineum, etc. The skin of the face and perineum is the thinnest part of the body with rich blood circulation, and there are many target organs for hormones, which are greatly injured by hormones and have many side effects. The groin, armpits, breasts and other parts of the body are sweaty and moist, and topical hormone preparations are easily absorbed and prone to skin atrophy.
Hormone contraindicated groups: children, the elderly, and pregnant women.
1, children’s skin stratum corneum is thin, skin development is not yet perfect, the barrier effect is small, the drug is very easy to be absorbed by the skin into the blood circulation. This affects the growth and development of infants and children and causes irreversible damage to them. Dermatology experts have pointed out that: infants and children can be more than three times the adult hormone damage.
2, the elderly sebaceous gland secretion reduced, skin atrophy, dry. The use of hormones will make the already slow metabolism of the skin even thinner and drier, aggravating the condition.
3, female pregnancy will induce a variety of skin diseases, especially pruritus, and the use of hormones by pregnant women will be absorbed into the maternal blood circulation through the skin, causing harm to the fetus, resulting in extremely sensitive skin after birth, lower body resistance, and easy infection, and the child will be fat and have poorer intelligence and development than children of the same age
Since the 1970s, traditional medical institutions have commonly used corticosteroids (referred to as hormones) to treat skin diseases. Topical ointments or creams synthesized from dermatological preparations such as dermatoprene, dermacan, dermacan cream, dermatomycin, paregoric pine, fluphenazole, and lotion are effective for a variety of skin diseases, such as hormone-dependent dermatitis, eczema, itchy rash, neurodermatitis, and seborrheic dermatitis. In particular, it has some anti-itch effect on the itching caused by these skin diseases. Some people and even a few doctors treat hormones as a panacea for skin diseases, and use hormone-containing drugs for external application when there is some slight discomfort (especially on the face). As a result, they induce complications that are troublesome. For some infectious skin diseases, topical application of such drugs is not only ineffective, but also reduces local resistance and aggravates the condition.
For a long time or a short period of time, large doses of injections or internal doses of dexamethasone, Connington, prednisone, cortisone, clobetasol and other corticosteroids, or the application of unknown truth contains hormones of the so-called secret formula treatment, the consequences are even more unimaginable.
