Make the Government & NHS recognise, research and treat Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW).

The Issue

Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW) is a serious condition affecting thousands in the UK, causing severe withdrawal symptoms such as facial redness, dryness, itching, and burning.

The condition can last for months or even years causing not only daily embarrassment but extreme discomfort and even depression.

Despite its prevalence, TSW remains unrecognised by the NHS, leaving patients feeling helpless and misdiagnosed.

NHS doctors continue to prescribe topical steroid medications to patients, exacerbating their condition and causing long-term discomfort and suffering. This lack of recognition has led to a significant gap in our understanding and treatment options for TSW.

We urge the UK government to fund research into TSW, helping us better understand the condition and develop more effective treatments. 

Your signature can make a difference in compelling the government to take action, improving the lives of those affected by TSW.

Join us in our mission to bring attention to the urgent need for TSW research funding. 

Sign the petition today and help give hope to those affected by TSW.

Thank you for your support.
