Fund Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW) Research and Provide Support for Sufferers

We think research on TSW is crucial in creating diagnostic criteria, also to inform prevalence and aid in prevention. There’s growing awareness about the potential side effects of topical steroids, but until there is more action to address this, we are concerned patients will continue to suffer.
