Day 233 Scientific Evidence For TSW

My skin is still pretty good, although my scalp seems very itchy! Someone commented today on how good my skin looks since I quit steroids, which was a nice confidence booster.

Some people claim that the evidence, or science behind Red Skin Syndrome and topical steroid addiction is scant. I do not believe this to be true. Since by steroid journey started, I have found many articles from sites all around the world that show that TSA is very real. I feel that these articles need to be collected and put together in one place for reference.

Pubmed are a good source of articles by doctors and dermatologists on steroid addiction. Check this one out for example:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1982750/

Scientists have been writing about steroid rebound for years. Why do so many choose to ignore the evidence?
