Review for International Topical Steroid Awareness Network (ITSAN), Dacula, GA, USA
This organization is not trasnparent and if your views don't agree with theirs, you will either be banned or have your posts moderated. I'm sorry that I donated almost $400 to this sad thing called ITSAN. I also don't care for the way that you can't bash doctors on the forum. If you've been harmed, you should be able to but apparently ITSAN doesn't want that as they want to rub arms with the medical community. There's a new forum that has a hands-off approach and isn't closedminded like ITSAN is.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Make them disclose where the donations are going and not solicit donations like they do by using photos of children.

Geanna, sorry you feel this way. Out of the 2,000+ people that have used the ITSAN forum, only 5 have been banned. We cannot have people bashing doctors or giving medical advice--these are the only reasons we have banned people so far. The transparency of ITSAN is clearly on the public record at GuideStar.org, where we list all of our finances. The amount of donations from the general public that we have received are very small. The majority of funding of ITSAN comes from its board members' donations.
