Inspired by Twitter user Bickz_, this piece recognizes the traumas TWS (Topical Steroid Withdrawal) presents. It is NOT atopic dermatitis (eczema), but the results of a rare adverse condition that is brought on after discontinued use of topical steroids. Red burning skin, irritating rashes, and painfully dry skin are effects of this condition.

There is no one agreed treatment, but several different measures that may help bring relief over a period of time. If you, or someone you know, struggles with the same affliction, please offer words of encouragement, support, love and care. It is an incredibly difficult mountain to climb-- mentally, emotionally, physically, AND spiritually. Cheers 🥃❤️
