Topic/Title: Raising Awareness of Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW) Syndrome: Patient Impact and Caregiver Responsibility

Topical Steroid Withdrawal Syndrome is often mistaken for “worsening eczema”, contact dermatitis, or an allergic reaction. We need to prepare nurses to recognize TSW Syndrome risk factors during assessment, including which questions to ask during intake. Nurses also need to understand the protracted nature of this disease, and the importance of maintaining a working relationship with the patient, to best serve this often misunderstood, under served patient population. The tendency of this population to never return to the office after a negative interaction with medical staff can not be underestimated.
