Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / July 2005Pred, Kinneret and skin issues
Hi! My mom asked me to find out if any of you have had something similar happen to you. Skin peels/sloughs off when she takes off her makeup. Just a top layer. Not causing wounds or redness. But it's irritating enough that she is cutting back on makeup, even though as a sales clerk in a dept store, her appearance does affect her sales (which affects potential for raises, etc.). Mom is on Prednisone, and Kinneret. She has tried everything else, so a medication switch isn't an option. Adelle hi adelle, i don't have an answer for you, but just wanted to say hi and let you know your question was read. sorry your mom's having a problem. diane Adelle - I have allergies to some makeup products. The worse offenders for me are Max Factor and sorry DeeTee Mary Kay. Then various other companies like Estee Lauder which is overly perfumed -- even their lipsticks can cause problems. But both the first two will peel the top layer of skin right off me. My mother used Clinique lipsticks for years and suddenly began getting mouth sores. Her doctor told her to switch brands and the problem went away. So can she switch make up companies or is she suppose to use the one she is selling?

Clinique products are the only ones I don't seem to be allergic to after a use or two. I cannot even find a shampoo that leaves my hair manageable, doesn't strip color and that my scalp likes. Jo I love trader joes' shampoos. They are reasonable but don't seem to bother my scalp at all! Kelly >> Adelle - I have allergies to some makeup products.

The woman who started the company had terrible allergies and she seem to have the same ones I had as I can almost count that I won't have trouble. Now makeup is a combination of EG and Almay. The blush is still Clinque. I also change my blush with a new one each year and lipsticks every 6 months and eye products at least that often or when my eyes give me trouble. Tossing older makeup makes a huge difference for me. Not sure if that would help anyone else... Duckie >>Adelle - I have allergies to some makeup products.

[quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > http://www.aquage.com/ > Duckie Thanks. I'll definitely try it. My guy uses and sells and teaches for RedKen. I love what RedKen does for my hair, but it makes me break out if I use it at home too. So I found a place in Sacramento where I can get Aquage and will add it to my next hunting and foraging list. Things are looking good. I've also found a place that sells "fat lady" clothes that I like and a nice place to board the cats. Our contractor even showed up last night. Life is good at the moment. Jo lol I suspect Redken would do the same thing to me that Paul Mitchell does. It has an odor and anything with much of an odor also includes item my body does not care for. You do sound like things are going well out there. Now if I can just get this house sold we can find a house, get repairs if any done [thinking old kitchen with tiles is not going to cut it], move, get settled and breathe.

But your appearance 'sells' in retail. If you look put together and sharp, the purchasers trust your opinions more. Mom uses a variety of brands. She is convinced it's not an allergy because there is no redness or itchiness. The top layer just peels off. With no swelling, itching, redness, etc., I am leaning toward it not being an allergy either as allergies usually show some form of inflammation She's wondering whether it's part of the 'thinning skin' affect of the pred. or possibly something with Kinneret. Thanks for the help, guys. I'll forward your responses. Adelle > Adelle - I have allergies to some makeup products. The worse offenders for > me are Max Factor and sorry DeeTee Mary Kay. Then various other companies [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] >> >> Adelle When my fingers got sore and peeled and split - no redness before or after. The best way to check would be to continue the meds, since she probably needs them, and stop the makeup, if she can. I never wear makeup unless it is a real important situation, and then I use the bare minimum I can get away with. At the age of 66-3/4, my skin still looks like 40 or less. Most people guess me as in my 40's (blush blush). Another comment - how old are her cosmetics? They recommend most makeup components to be thrown out after a short period of time - can't think of it now, but you can probably Google it. I do know that 6 months is the absolute maximum on mascara. Good luck. I still think her best bet is a dermatologist rather than us making lots of guesses. Let us know. We care.

I don't like my skin when I have to take it for very long. But I'm sure the pred is a necessary good/evil thing. Still a dermatologist may be able to recommend something that helps. Just a weird idea. I don't know the details, but my sister-in-law has very sensitive skin. She cleanses it with skim milk. Cannot tolerate any other cleansers. Jo I would still see a dermatologist cause something is going on. Duckie > Mom's selling jewelry, not cosmetics.

[quoted text clipped - 35 lines] >>> >>>Adelle Signature_('> (_<_) _ _('< -quack (_<_) _ __('< *QUACK!* <_{__) _('< "|,,|_" (_<_) _('< "AFLAC!" (_<_) Sounds like something I went through this past year. I developed a rash which went into layering and peeling. The rash was from the brown stuff they put on to clean the area for surgery and it was left on under the bandage for three days. I used Benadryl Cream on it and it just got worse. I went to the dermatologist and she said I had developed an allergy to the Benadryl and she gave me something totally different that cleared it up in a couple of weeks. Your mom may have developed an allergy either to her makeup (and cutting back won't help that IMO) or to the substance she is using to clean it off. I would suggest a visit to a dermatologist. I also developed an allergy to OxyClean which made the tips of my fingers peel and split. She gave me a cream for that and a special hand lotion that is very thick but oh so nice feeling on. I also use plastic gloves whenever I handle any type of cleaning substance and when I fix and eat my orange in the morning. My fingers are finally much better.

Loujean >I have a malar rash from lupus and makeup has always been a problem too. >I recently started using bare minerals and it's wonderful. Easy to put on [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] >> >> Adelle Bare minerals easy to obtain? You can order from the website or from qvc. Sephora carries it also.... there are also Bare Escentual stores. I'm wearing makeup now again because I love it so much. There's a forum at Delphi for BE Addicts and there's so much information.... there's a website with a bunch of info.... I'm copying a lot of it into Word so I can read it off paper. If you need//want more info, lmk Nicole > I've heard about them. Are they easy to obtain? > I'd like something that didn't feel "pasted" on. [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > >> > >> Adelle I haven't heard of that one before. Has her doc any ideas? Maybe a derm visit is advisable? I'm wondering if it might be something as simple as a reaction to something in the make-up she uses. Does she use a hypo-allergenic make-up? Has she tried switching brands?
