Hey ladies, I thought it might be helpful to do a little description of our experience incase anyone comes across this group as I’ve shared it in a couple of other eczema baby groups!
I used differing potencies of steroids on and off for 20+ years, didn’t realise a withdrawal was possible. My eczema symptoms worsened and I experienced ones I never had before like thin skin, excessive wrinkles, radiating heat etc.
Doctors weren’t aware of a withdrawal, not has any derm or a&e dept, midwife that I’ve seen during my journey of TSW.
I’m currently 30months steroid free and still suffering incredibly. My 15mo has eczema and I find it incredibly triggering and hard to manage both our skin without steroids but know it’s necessary.
Always here to answer any questions about it, or about eczema if at all helpful!x
