Std Treatment?

Updated

This is a cream prescribed by a physician to my Mom, to be used for the rest of her life to her vaginal and rectal area...due to a skin condition that can lead to cancer...her story anyway...I am confused because to pustual break out she was having does not indicate a thinning of the skin in the elderly that could turn to cancer I worry because of her health risk but also to myself and family members that may need to be careful of using her toilet??? Am I reading more into this or is she in major denial? I worry about the risk of long term use of this medication.

This medication is not supposed to be used beyond two weeks, as it is a steroid with serious side effects. I have recently learned that I have developed a cataract, which is one of the two problems associated with this drug, in relation to the eyes. It can also cause glaucoma. I don't know that she will transmit anything from the toilet, but she should definitely ask the pharmacists about side effects. Physicians don't seem to pay much attention to the side effects of medications, and I have researched this drug and learned that the FDA has cited them for not making the side effects and dosage restrictions more obvious on the label. Good luck.

I had a doctor try to tell me that I would have to use the cream for the rest of my life also, I asked him if it could be the new laundry detergent that I was using, his answer was, No, because i had no other syptoms on my body, but I realized that the problem that I had accured on my vagina didn't start till I used new detergent. I went & bought Free & Clear Detergent and the problem that the doctor said that I'd have to use cream the rest of my life went away. Sometimes we have to be our own doctor!! I truly hope this may help your mother & all other women who may think they have to live with applying this cream the rest of their lives. : )
