What’s the best treatment for Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW)? While answers are still emerging, we’re getting closer.TSW is a misunderstood, drug-induced condition that goes far beyond typical eczema. Many sufferers feel dismissed by doctors since there’s no formal diagnostic criteria and many dermatologists deny its existence.
