NEW YORK (Reuters) -- The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is warning all users of over-the-counter dandruff and psoriasis treatments called "Skin-Cap" to immediately contact their health care providers. The products, imported from Spain, contain prescription-strength corticosteroid drugs, which may pose a health hazard to many people. As with any steroidal drug, abrupt withdrawal is ill-advised and you should see a physician. This is not medical advice. ---- Michael Jones ([log in to unmask]) Orlando, FL USA
