A new face cream may help clean skin conditions. Is your face red? We have an update on the effort to clear your skin when it looks as though you've had a sunburn that won't heal. We've found a product called Face Doctor, a face cream. You can find it at valley health food stores or your druggist can order it if he doesn't have it. If nothing's worked on your red rosacea or acne or eczema, this might. Rosacea and its redness may spread to your neck, chest, scalp and ears. Boardman dermatologist Patrick Shannon treats a lot of it. "Tremendous amount, yea, tremendous, it's actually more common than you'd really think about. Sometimes I see it five to ten times a day," says Dr. Shannon. The new product Face Doctor contains a natural oil called Seabuckthorn that kills the parasitic bugs found on everyone's face. Does it work better than the antibiotic creams dermatologists already prescribe for rosacea and other skin disorders? Maybe. "If you get results from natural products, that's the way to go, if you get results from a combination of products, that's the way to go," says pharmacist Jeffery Robb. Rosacea can turn your skin bumpy, it may even rob you of your sight, so you'll want to treat it as quickly as possible. The Health Food Center on Market Street in Boardman sells a lot of face doctor and similar products that contain the same oil. It's another option for your local health. in Boardman sells a lot of face doctor and similar products that contain the same oil.It's another option for your local health. in Boardman sells a lot of face doctor and similar products that contain the same oil.It's another option for your local health. |
