Hate This Cortizone-10 Commercial!

I am so tired of seeing this commercial every time I watch TV. Cortizone-10 will NOT heal eczema! Cortizone-10 has hydrocortisone (also known as a topical steroid) in it and will only temporarily suppress the symptoms of eczema. And, as most people reading this already know, should NOT be used long-term! It will cause topical steroid addiction and worsening eczema.

  2. Any cortisone commercial (especially Preparation H for Preparation Hell) makes me downright mad. Cortisone needs to be prescription only and only for the worst cases!!!
