The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) issued a warning against unlicensed eczema creams which actually contain strong steroids. Apparently, a parent thought he/she was buying a "natural" cream from India but became concerned when it cleared up his kid's skin in three days.
Here's the part that kills me:
The unlicensed product was supplied in an unlabelled plastic tub and was found to contain the corticosteroid betamethasone dipropionate.
Unlabelled plastic tub? This parent bought something in an unlabelled plastic tub and stuck it on his child's skin? Yikes! Please people. I know we're all desperate to find a cure for this, but hopefully we can all verify the ingredients of the lotions that come in contact with our precious skin.
