- Title Brave Woman Shares Her Topical Steroid Withdrawal Struggles
- Summary This brave woman has taken to social media to share her daily struggles with topical steroid withdrawal (TSW). Letitia Vassell from Stafford has been in topical steroid withdrawal for over 15 months. She decided to begin documenting her journey early last year when she started to discover TSW, but didn’t have an idea where to begin. As time went on, she researched more about the condition, and along with this, her symptoms also began. The symptoms of TSW can range from red skin syndrome, which is shedding, flaking, weeping and oozing skin, to intense burning as well as nerve pain and hair loss. Letitia said, “It has been one of the worst, loneliest, indescribable experiences I have ever been through”. Letitia began to lose her hair at the start of this year after finding it clumped in the shower, so she made the tough decision to cut her long curls off. As time went on, she noticed even more hair was falling out, this time at the front and back of her scalp. Letitia said: “I was completely bald at the front, losing confidence and it pained me to see myself this way. “I share my videos so people with topical steroid withdrawal can relate to me and I want to show people that they are not alone. “I want to truly inspire my followers that we will get through topical steroid withdrawal, even when we may think this repetitive torture will never end.”
