Manufacturers of herbal creams for the treatment of skin diseases rely not on the miraculous remedies of traditional medicine.

A careful analysis of samples brought by patients to one of the American clinics showed that most of them contain in their composition serious drugs from the group of corticosteroid hormones.

Doctors of the dermatological department of the Birmingham Children's Hospital asked parents of patients who use plant-based creams in atopic dermatitis and note good results, bring them for analysis. As a result, it was found that creams contain completely different components that parents count on.

When analyzing the samples, it was found that many contain corticosteroids.

It is noted that none of the parents and did not assume that the funds that they have purchased for children contain corticosteroid hormones. In connection with these data, physicians stated the need to urgently strengthen the surveillance of the turnover of such drugs and pay attention to informing patients about the possible dangers of alternative medicine.
