Members of the public are advised not to purchase or use a skin cream which caused a woman in her 50s to suffer severe skin reactions after using it, the Health Sciences Authority said on Aug 26.
She had purchased the cream from a shop in Orchard Road and continued buying it from the seller via messaging platform WhatsApp after the physical shop closed in 2020. Ongoing investigations have also revealed that Touch Skin by DermaCare Skin Relief Treatment Cream and the product flagged by HSA in May were sold by the same seller.
The steroids may also be absorbed into the body and cause serious adverse effects when applied to large areas of the skin or used over a prolonged period. Adverse effects include high blood pressure, cataracts, muscular and bone disorders, an increased risk of infections and Cushing’s syndrome, which causes a “moon face” appearance and upper body obesity with thin limbs.
