New Research Paper Published on Topical Steroid Withdrawal

The floodgates are opening and new research projects are being commissioned about the long-term effects of topical steroids on the body. This is only the tip of the iceberg now that TSW is becoming more recognised in the medical community. Hopefully many more projects like this will follow, so that doctors can take TSW seriously and plan better outcomes for patients.

You can read the full article here.

This latest study is from Japan and is the first large-scale study focusing on long and short term outcomes for users of topical steroids upon cessation of the medication. The study found that the longer patients had been using topical steroids, the more severe the symptoms of withdrawal.
