Prednisone-Skin Supplementation | Arthritis Information

Share
 

Hello,

I have been on Prednisone for about 10 years and I've been tapering for a year or so.

My skin has lost elasticity. Has anyone found supplements or creams etc. that help this? 

I've tried over the counter "firming" cremes
Obaji facial products
Emu Oil and Health food store lotions and potions
All= :(

thanks,




Has your doctor prescribed or suggested anything?No.  It wasn't until this weekend that I had a doctor acknowledge that this was a problem.  He said that 1+ years after going off the Prednisone, my skin may react better than now.

I've noticed I seem to be aging faster-- has anyone else noticed this?

Thanks
Before diagnosis I noticed my ability to heal slowed down tremendously.  It takes forever now for a simple cut to stop bleeding, then close up and heal, plus it all hurts way more than it ever did - simple stuff.  I don't know about the aging - I am just old :)  I hope some others have some insights for you.  Cathy
