長期使用抗生素類固醇的保養品,會有什麼後遺症?

What are the potential long-term side effects of using skincare products containing antibiotics or steroids?

長期使用含有抗生素和類固醇的保養品可能會導致多種後遺症，具體取決於使用的時間、使用的種類和濃度等因素。

Long-term use of skin care products containing antibiotics and steroids may lead to various side effects, depending on factors such as the duration of use, the type of product used, and the concentration of the antibiotics or steroids.

抗生素是用於殺死細菌的藥物，但長期使用會導致細菌產生抗藥性，從而減弱抗生素的療效，同時也可能導致膚部細菌失去平衡，導致敏感和感染。目前可查的資料文獻中，例如:粉刺痘痘若以外塗的方式擦抗生素治療，時間達兩年以上，將增進皮膚上葡萄球菌之抗藥性。所以，長期使用抗生素的保養品會破壞皮膚微生物群落的平衡，從而對皮膚健康造成損害。

Antibiotics are medications used to kill bacteria, but long-term use can lead to bacterial resistance, thereby reducing the effectiveness of antibiotics. It can also disrupt the balance of bacteria on the skin, leading to sensitivity and infection. According to available literature, for example, if antibiotics are applied topically to treat acne for more than two years, it can increase the resistance of Staphylococcus aureus on the skin. Therefore, long-term use of antibiotics in skin care products can disrupt the balance of skin microbiota and cause harm to skin health.

類固醇是用於緩解皮膚炎症和過敏反應的藥物，對過敏引起的紅、腫、熱、痛之症狀消除特別有效。但長期過度使用會降低皮膚的通透性，也會使角質增厚。塗抹處皮膚易萎縮、皮膚變薄、或產生類固醇紫斑導致膚色變化、類固醇潮紅、皮膚瘢痕等問題，甚至可能影響免疫系統的正常功能。

Steroids are drugs used to relieve skin inflammation and allergic reactions and are particularly effective in alleviating symptoms of redness, swelling, heat, and pain caused by allergies. However, long-term excessive use can decrease skin permeability and thicken the stratum corneum. This can cause skin atrophy, thinning, or steroid purpura leading to changes in skin color, steroid rosacea, and skin scarring. It may even affect the normal functioning of the immune system.
