The Steroid Trap: How Topical Steroid Withdrawal Destroyed My Skin & Confidence
EP 34. Are you using topical steroids to manage eczema, psoriasis, or other chronic skin inflammation? In this deeply personal solo episode of Well Done, I share my battle with topical steroid withdrawal (TSW), a condition triggered by long-term steroid use that left my skin inflamed and my confidence shattered.
I dive into the science of how steroids create skin dependency, the risks of steroid overuse, and how the very thing that is supposed to help is actually making things worse. I also get into the connection between stress, inflammation, and healing and open up about what it was like to live with a visible, chronic skin condition in a beauty-obsessed world.
You'll discover:
- What's happening when your topical steroids stop working and how long-term use can cause a withdrawal or rebound effect
- What really happens to your skin barrier when you suppress inflammation
- Why visible skin conditions can deeply impact mental health and self-worth
- The stress-inflammation cycle that keeps you from healing
- The mind-body approach to healing and how subconscious beliefs impact our ability to heal
- Warning signs of potential topical steroid withdrawal (TSW)
