Zudaifu cream - does it contain steroids?

[Fred]

Thank you Fred. I didn't know about the illegal use of steroids in herbal creams. Not that I would ever consider buying any.

The problem is Bill that these these creams are not regulated and there is no way they are going to tell you the illegal ingredients added. Yes they may work at first, but it's the illegal steroid that is working and not the natural ingredients.

A bit of homework on the internet can throw up plenty of reading. It's nothing new and there is an interesting bit in the BMJ from 1999:

"Analysis of Chinese herbal creams prescribed for dermatological conditions"
