from 2021-04-22T08:00
For many people who have been struggling with eczema for years, using topical steroids on a regular basis has become a part of life. What you may not know is that trying to stop steroids after years of use can lead to Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW) which as of publishing is not an official diagnosis.
My guest today is Hahn Byol Chang, whose goal is to spread awareness about topical steroid withdrawal (TSW) and how to prevent others from suffering in the future. He is 14 months TSW and 8 months NMT (No Moisture Therapy).
Join us as we talk his personal journey with NMT and TSW (Topical Steroid Withdrawal).
