Cortisone and Skin Damage

[jagendog]

I have sworn off Cortisone forever and the way Dermatologists prescribe it by the tube after tube ad nauseum....I must have 8 tubes of this skin thinner and regret the way I have used way too much over the years. My wife who is a clinical Pharmacist warned me that skin damage would be the end result, but that's all they gave me by the bucket full. I now have been using the new non-Cortisonal," Tazarotene" cream at $75.00 US for 30 gram small tube, The gel of the same is over $700.00 US per tube thanks to Big Pharm. The Flesh on my elbow and knee is so thin it bleeds at will, leaving behind an angry red mess that seems to be the end of normal skin ever coming back. Thank You For This Forum and You Folks and my everlasting Rants, Best Regards...........
