Topical Steroid Withdrawal - TSW
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hi Everyone,
I used Hydrocortisone 2.5% on my face for 2 years (including eyelids). I didnt know about TSW or I wouldnt have used it.
I'm a few days into TSW and I'm wondering if anyone has any tips or advise on how to deal with the burning and tightening feeling of the skin.
Does anyone know of any Consultants in London who can help? Also wondering if anyone has used wheatgrass spray and their opinions on it?
Even just to hear your experiences would be good

I get the odd patches on the back of my hands but I freeze them off myself with 'Dr Scholls Stop Verrugas Freezing agent' that I buy in a Chemist or even Tesco.

Now my aqaugenic urticaria has been diagnosed and I'm recieveing treated for that, but I cannot seem to stop using the steroid creams without becoming very uncomfortable, burning and itching (symptoms of TSW).

I hid myself away while I was on the treatment. Very uncomfortable.
