Initially the nurses said no reaction except an incredible one to the tape used to hold down the three patches; that did not matter.
Are you sure? That whole area was red and so bothering me.
Another nurse was brought in and she decided ppd. I was given the sheet for ppd. The dominant info on the sheet was about hair dye products.
I'm thinking, look common sense. If my dermatologist saw an irritated scalp and he thought my hair was dyed he would have inquired.
I thought about the two leather products that I have had for over 4 years without any reaction.
I thought about any sunscreen products I might be using on my face. hmm
I thought about the FDA approved piss-poor smoke environment.
I thought about this patch, and I looked into it. Its the only one FDA approved and not that many people react to the patch. Of those retested many more react. You are not suppose to use steroids while being tested. hmm the shampoo the doctor gave me has steroids in it.
Steroids is a sore spot with me as when I had chicken pox the private doctor wanted steroids used and the city doctor said no and diagnosed sulfa drug. Sulfa is known to cause allergic reactions and it did. That chicken pox whatever lasted for six months.
The ointment that this current dermatologist gave me quickly cleared up the remainder of the problem that had existed for years since that illness. Yep just thinking about all the malarkey that goes on in City and State governed entities. Such cheaters for sure. Sore spot indeed.
The FDA passes its wand over many cosmetic products with no inspection or strict requirements to include every ingredient on the label. Look at this:
"The ingredient of concern is that this product contains triethanolamine (TEA) which has the potential to turn into an extremely potent carcinogen called nitrosodiethanolamine (NDEA). That means it causes cancer. Even more concerning, NDEA is easily absorbed through skin. There is no way of knowing if the concentration of TEA in this product is high enough to be of concerns."--Beauty Investigators on Neutrogena's SPF 20 Ageless Intensives
The article goes on to state that Neutrogena does not list all of its ingredients on its packaging.
I am never loyal to a product and most likely the Neutrogena Ageless Essentials SPF25 Continuous Hydration product I have been using as of late was on sale. No ingredients other than a few active ingredients listed and this unknown Helioplex. I could not find info that linked it up with their above product's TEA ingredient.
I really don't like to use chemical SPF products at all. My Aveda natural SPF was used up and I thought this product harmless after reading its packaging briefly at the store. I'll continue to look into it.
As to PPD and cosmetics well for sure you will find that many sunscreens have PPD in it. Is it listed? Better look. Additionally tar anti-inflammatory shampoos are also highly questionable. PPD and Tar are related.
I use simple products and my shampoos don't have complicated ingredients that perform miracles on your hair because I don't need a miracle. My hair is a miracle.
FDA approval means nothing?
Medicine is what you make of it?
The only reason why I went to the dermatologist was because of the massive insect problem in the building and my apartment. The dermatologist said it was not bug related. OK.
I did not change the showerhead or the locks in this apartment like I normally do, well because the landlord left the apartment filthy for me and I found them to be losers so I did not know how long I would live here. I just demold the showerhead along with the bathroom every few weeks. That might be a good test to get a shower filter however I do not want to waste a penny on this apartment. I most likely will move out of it shortly to a homeless center. lol then I'll really need medicaid for sure.
