Day 268 Different Names for TSW

Here is another link to an interesting article about TSA

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19445310/

I think half of the problem with Red Skin Syndrome is the fact that it has so many names. This article, for instance, calles it "steroid induced roseacealike dermatitis".

Another site that I was on today called it "Facial Corticosteroid Addictive Dermatitis".

There are at least 10 other names for topical steroid addiction. We need a universal name here, folks. Otherwise, searching for articles on the subject can be a nightmare.
