As you learn, we think you will understand why our results are superior, and we remain a leader that the others follow. The following photographs depict conditions which are very responsive to DrH Stabilizer Lotion‘. If you see your problem in one of these, contact a dermatologist in your area to see if DrH Stabilizer Lotion is right for you. We will soon be adding and continually updating a list of dermatologists who carry or recommend the Stabilizer Lotion already in their practices. If you have additional dermatology questions, please feel free to visit the American Academy of Dermatology website at www.aad.org/public for additional information and links.     Many dermatologists have added an extra layer of care to their practices. If you are someone who has struggled with irritation from skin products, or “combination skin”; if you are someone who has struggled with rosacea or acne; or if you are someone who has perioral dermatitis, our physicians are expert in your problem. Physicians who recommend the DrH Stabilizer Lotion to their patients recognize that there are harsh climates for the skin, which accentuate seborrheic dermatitis, sensitive skin/barrier problems, and perioral dermatitis/combination skin. Some patients have years or seasons during which they really struggle with many of the prescription topical medications for acne and rosacea. They also recognize that for patients with eczema and psoriasis, it is not always advisable to “cold turkey” therapy with prescription strength steroids and hydrocortisones. Mild forms of psoriasis often go unrecognized. They are extremely common. These are most often recognized by thick dry scaly elbows, red patches in the armpits, scaling in the ear canals, swimmer’s ear history, red scaly patches on the eyelids that crack, sting, or itch, chronic scaling of the scalp and stubborn dandruff, and chronic redness and irritation in the groin creases, under the breasts, and between the buttocks. Atopic dermatitis and psoriasis are so common that they often occur in the same patient, in mild partially expressed forms. Many of our Stabilizer Lotion patients represent this overlap of atopic dermatitis and mild psoriasis, and as a result, we developed the Stabilizer Lotion. It was an “extra layer of care” that made a significant difference for these patients who tend to struggle with irritancy issues, sensitive skin, “combination skin”, and mild forms of psoriasis and eczema. If you struggle with shaving rashes, you are likely a candidate for the Stabilizer Lotion. Mens’ necks, women’s legs and bikini areas all benefit from using the Stabilizer Lotion under your doctor’s supervision. When you start strong prescription treatments from your doctor for acne and rosacea, you may benefit. Use the Stabilizer Lotion twice a day in the first week, and then on a maintenance schedule recommended and supervised by your doctor. It’s clear that the Stabilizer lotion can serve as a “bridge therapy” for initiating therapy for rosacea, acne, and atopic dermatitis receiving therapy with Protopic‘ and Elidel‘ creams. The Stabilizer Lotion is designed to complement many skin care programs. It allows those with sensitive skin to tolerate effective prescription-strength treatment for acne, rosacea, and sun damage (actinic) keratoses.
