Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW)
DISCLAIMER: This video is not to scold/shame hem, it’s just to raise awareness of steroid usage! Yes, he’s under the care of a dermatologist with a full treatment plan and I wish him a speedy recovery!
If you’re experiencing signs & symptoms of TSW, please go see a dermatologist, do not try to take matters into your own hands, it can become MUCH worse.
Signs & Symptoms:
1. Red, burning skin
2. Severe itching (regular eczema itch x100)
3. Swelling
4. Oozing
5. Skin thickening/plaques
6. Excessive skin flaking
MOST eczema sufferers (including myself) are prescribed a steroid, and lots of people will admit they grab a steroid for a quick fix.
