Sneak Preview of NEA Task Force Findings

Some time ago I mentioned that the National Eczema Association were commissioning a task force to investigate topical steroid addiction. This was in response to the growing number of enquiries that the NEA was getting about TSA and the need to formulate an official response concerning their stance on the subject.

The report has been a long time in coming. In fact, we are not quite there yet, but they have published a preview on Pubmed which looks really positive.

The publication of this article will help sufferers of TSW explain to their doctors and dermatologists that it is indeed a real condition, backed by evidence from experts.

Many thanks to NEA for commissioning this important document. I hope that it will be the starting point for many more research studies on the subject of TSA that will give us more credibility with doctors and dermatologists, many of whom understand very little about this poorly-publicised condition.

This, along with my previous blogpost, proves that the tide is finally turning and awareness about TSW is growing daily.
