Question: When Should You Stop Using Corticosteroid Creams?

Answer: Corticosteroids are drugs, and as with all other drugs, there are side effects when stopping them, especially if you do it cold turkey.

People with eczema often use corticosteroids, especially in the form of a cream, because they calm their eczema pretty fast, but they are often times unaware of the terrible side effects. Side effects of corticosteroids include stunted growth and weakened joints, muscles, and bones, extreme mood changes, adrenal suppression, and TSW when you stop using them.

I used to use corticosteroids a lot, and to make things even worse, I was unaware of the side effects. Even after I heard about these side effects, I continued using them for some time because I believed that they were the only thing that could help my eczema, even though my condition always worsened after I stopped using them.

After some time, I stopped using them completely because they lost all effect, which made my body go into a condition called TSW, which is short for topical steroid withdrawal.

When I was in TSW, every single part of my skin was completely red; this made me very depressed and hopeless. But then I decided to start doing my own research on eczema, and I tried to find the root cause of all of this. I knew that eczema was connected to the immune system, but then I learned that most of your immune system is completely controlled by your gut, which made me research gut health.

Now, after years of suffering and illness, I am not only completely eczema-free, but I am free from every single health problem I used to have.
