Review for International Topical Steroid Awareness Network (ITSAN), Dacula, GA, USA
A little over a year ago, I was in a search for help after my doctor kept prescribing higher and higher dosages of topical steroids for my psoriasis on my scalp. The topicals would work at first but then my skin would get used to that and I was just getting worse. Thank God that I found ITSAN and another Facebook support group that shared the information about topical steroid addiction! It is a very real condition!!! If steroids are used over 2 weeks, you are setting yourself up! My doctor had prescribed the increasing dosages of steroids over many, many years. It was very difficult going through the withdrawal, but I am through the worst of it and doing so much better- without any steroid medications now!!! To those of us who have been through withdrawal, of course we want to shout from the rooftops when we have found what has helped us! Thank you ITSAN!!!
