Dry Skin and Eczema Require Skin-Friendly Soaps

Soaps are notorious for causing skin problems. The first recommendation for anyone with dry skin, eczema, acne, psoriasis, rosacea or just about any other skin problem is usually to avoid soap as much as possible and to ensure that whatever soap you do use is mild. The truth is: all soaps dry the skin somewhat and, no matter how mild the soap may be, you need the protection of a dry skin and eczema treatment product that will not wash off when you wash - for which thousands of doctors now recommend a shielding lotion. However, some soaps do cause less damage than others and you should know how to recognize them. Here are the parameters: * One of the most important factors is the pH level.

Skin Care Treatment Drug Manufacturers Sued By Cancer Patients

Last week it was announced that Traci Reilly is filing suit on the manufacturers of Protopic and Elidel, the topical eczema drugs she believes caused her to develop breast cancer. Reilly will join the many others who are reported to have filed wrongful death and injury suits related to the use of these drugs. Despite the black box warnings ordered by the FDA last year, along with requests for long-term cancer studies, the drug companies maintain that, used as directed, the drugs are safe and there is no conclusive evidence linking the drugs to cancer. Conclusive or not, there is certainly enough anecdotal evidence to justify switching to a skin care treatment product that is effective as eczema treatment, but is not potentially life threatening. What are the facts about these drugs? The active ingredients in Protopic (tacrolimus) and Elidel (pimecrolimus) are known to suppress the immune system.

Lawsuits Filed Against Elidel

Essex, NJ: Two lawsuits have been filed against Elidel and Protopic in the Superior Court of New Jersey, law division: Atlantic County. Plaintiffs [Alan and Dayna Thomson] filed a wrongful death suit December 19th, 2006 after their daughter Haley died as a direct result of Elidel. [Ashley McDonald] filed January 31st, 20007 after she was diagnosed with lymphoma, again as a result of Elidel. Both victims were prescribed Elidel to treat eczema. The manufacturer of Elidel, Novartis, has long been in denial regarding the link between its product and cancers and infections; the lawsuit alleges the drug makers knew of the deadly side effects even before it was approved by the FDA. But it wasn't until 2006 that the FDA warned of a cancer risk and added a black box warning to Elidel and Protopic, a similar drug manufactured by Astellas Pharma.
