GentleDerm - reactions?

Messages

Hello - I'm looking into MCAS + have been trying GentleDerm. Thing is I seem to have reacted to it! Red skin, raised blotches and weird red pimples - all my usual friends.

I could be reacting to something else, of course. Wondering if anyone has reacted to this cream? And if so whether they persisted + symptoms settled. I'd really liketo have the luteolin for neuro issues.

Never tried this product, but just looked up the ingredients and it contains Lanolin. Personally, I react to anything that contains Lanolin. It also says something about chamomile oil on description. Never tried the oil, but I react to the tea.

Thanks i-lava-u

I went for the cream first as I was wary of interactions with my ADHD meds (Elvanse/Vyvanse and dietry supplements, although I suppose the cream could still cause problems in that regard). And also because methlut is more potent than just lut, I have heard.

Thanks for the tip re lanolin. I have been unable to turn up a single report of anyone reacting to GentleDerm - apart from me.

I am seeing my nutritionist tomorrow to discuss interactions with neuroprotek + other histamine warriors.
