Symptomatic management of Topical Steroid Withdrawal
People experiencing the withdrawal symptoms from the discontinuation of topical steroids are using different methods, routines and products to improve their condition. The four of the main skin-related symptoms are inflammation, exudation, dryness, and itching.
TSW Assist is in the process of gathering insights from sufferers of topical steroid withdrawal, and their carers. Our survey will aggregate insights for the anecdotal methods for managing the different symptoms and stages of topical steroid withdrawal.
Currently there is no medical cure for topical steroid withdrawal, but within the global TSW community there are methods, products, and therapies that help provide symptomatic relief during the withdrawal period.
