What Is Topical Steroid Withdrawal

Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW) is a serious condition that can occur after prolonged use of topical steroids. At Narayana Hospital Barasat, we provide comprehensive care and expert guidance to help you navigate this challenging condition. TSW, also known as Red Skin Syndrome, manifests with symptoms like severe redness, burning, and itching of the skin.

Patients who have been using topical steroids for an extended period may develop a dependency, and sudden cessation can lead to a rebound effect, causing these distressing symptoms. At Narayana Hospital Barasat Kolkata, our dermatologists are skilled in diagnosing and managing TSW, ensuring patients receive the best possible care.

Our treatment approach includes a thorough evaluation of your medical history, gradual tapering of steroid use, and introduction of alternative therapies to manage symptoms. We emphasize patient education and support throughout the withdrawal process, ensuring a safe and effective transition.

If you suspect you are experiencing TSW, don’t hesitate to contact Narayana Hospital Barasat for expert consultation and treatment options. We are committed to helping you achieve healthy, steroid-free skin.
