      Doctors prescribe a 2% cortisone, which is a mild topical steroid. Eczema goes away. Then it comes back worse. The cycle begins - stronger steroid, short term improvement, worse flare, stronger steroids. From cortisone to clobetasol. Side effects: https://www.webmd.com/drugs/2/drug-4403-451/clobetasol-topical/clobetasol-lotion-topical/details …

      After topical steroids stop working, the eczema patient is prescribed prednisone. Prednisone is evil. If you’ve never taken it, hard to understand. You’re always hungry, moody, and you get a “moon face.”https://themighty.com/2018/06/prednisone-photos-moon-face/ …

      Once your skin stops working as it should, you start to obsess. Is it dust mites? So you buy the air filters and bed covers. And the flares keep coming, the burn intensifies, and the drugs doctors give you don’t work. Then one night you find out about Dr Marvin Rapaport.

      Dr Marvin Rapaport, a clinical researcher, discovered that some percentage of the population become “addicted” to topic steroids. Hence why a person goes from having eczema to having parts of the skin covered in second degree burns.https://youtu.be/0JNVj6eAHDs

      The only cure for Red Skin Syndrome is to go off of topical steroids cold turkey. It is horrific. Even water stings. This is what happened to my face once I quit all corticosteroids. This was only the beginning. It gets worse.pic.twitter.com/K81lwzIyEj

          Never knew about that. Glad I’ve never tried topical steroids. I have eczema but I use Shea butter and coconut oil to alleviate any spots. Since you posted this, I won’t be using steroids.

          Horrible. Empathy here. Fellow chronic life long eczema sufferer. As you know TCS is a band-aid and are not the answer. Eucrisa is a cream based on the boron molecule. I worked on the clinical trials. Truly amazing relsults & relief.
