B-LIAN-S HERBAL CREAM 百莲霜草本修复乳膏 (Bai Lian Shuang Cao Ben Xiu Fu Ru Gao)” was marketed as a “Natural Extract Formula” with “zero steroids” to manage psoriasis, eczema, red and itchy skin. However, when HSA tested the product, it was found to contain a potent steroid (clobetasol), and an antifungal agent (miconazole).
A 12-year-old boy had applied it regularly for two months for his eczema. He rapidly gained 6kg over this period and developed stretch marks on his legs. The child's mother came across the product on Facebook and placed an order with the vendor who was based in Malaysia through Facebook Messenger.
HSA’s investigations found that the overseas vendor’s social media account was linked to a local Shopee store. HSA has since worked with the platform administrator to disable the online store, while the relevant Malaysian authorities have also been alerted to the Facebook account.
See a doctor immediately if you are using “B-LIAN-S HERBAL CREAM". Do not stop using these products suddenly on your own as they contain potent steroids. Sudden discontinuation of steroids (including topical steroids which can be absorbed) may cause severe withdrawal symptoms such as fatigue, weakness and low blood pressure, especially when it has been used for more than a few weeks. Children and infants are more susceptible to the effects of steroids and may be at a higher risk of steroid-associated adverse effects.
