A member asked:

I am doing spray tanning. i got pneumonia a year ago. the doctor gave me alvesco (ciclesonide) when discharged to use before i start tanning. should i continue this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Related?: Spray tanning as i'm not too familiar with its ingredients but if it contains water droplets that is contaminated with bacteria, can lead to problems such as legionnair's disease. Plus Alvesco (ciclesonide) is for chronic asthmatics which is a steroid and strongly advised against using it unless you are a symptomatic asthmatic.
