I just had to share the exciting news that the new ITSAN website is finally up and running!
Kelly Palace, the founder of the site and its predecessor, addictedskin.com, has channelled her own experiences with topical steroid addiction and subsequent healing, into creating a charity dedicated to helping and educating those affected by corticosteroid overuse and addiction. From small beginnings, she has created an international site, full of useful information and resources about steroid addiction and the adverse effects of steroid cream abuse.
ITSAN, the International Topical Steroid Addiction Network, will hopefully help and educate many thousands of people, and also show the medical establishment, who currently doubt the existence of steroid addiction, that Red Skin Syndrome is not only REAL, but it is affecting countless adults, children and babies worldwide. The site already has the backing of supportive and sympathetic doctors, but more needs to be done to educate doctors and dermatologists worldwide that prescribing repeat prescriptions of increasingly potent steroid creams is NOT the answer to skin problems like eczema and psoriasis.
