I Have Eczema

Going through topical steroid withdrawal is so much worse than the eczema itself! I'm 5 months into detoxing. Anyone else fall into this awful fallacy that steroids are a suitable treatment for skin ailments? What a painful lesson to learn!

I was on Prednisone pills and shots once for treatment of a skin condition. It nearly drive me insane, I was so ill that my dog didn't even want to be around me, and I was constantly looking for a fight. After two weeks, I stopped treatment, and didn't sleep much at all for the next month.

@Notanymore I used them topically, (hydrocortisone) on and off for 10 years and I am paying dearly for it!

@AnarchoMetalchic I'm really sorry for that
