Like this woman, Remi, who has suffered from eczema and treated it with a topical cream for over 20 years.
After using the cream for so long, she decided to stop using it and turned to the ‘moisture-free treatment’.
The reason she stopped the steroid cream was because it eventually stopped working for her.

Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW) caused Remi to suffer with raw, itchy, peeling skin.

She kept an online diary of her journey without dampness treatment and documented it on TikTok.
