Topical Steroid withdrawal (TSW) is a group of side effects some people get when they use too much of these medicines, stay on them for too long, or stop taking them too quickly.

The skin symptoms include:
* Burning, stinging, or painful skin
* Redness, sometimes in a sleeve pattern on the arms or legs
* Itching
* Peeling or cracking
* Swelling
* Pus-filled bumps

Symptoms are often worse right after you stop taking steroids. First the skin turns red, then it becomes itchy. Eventually the skin clears, but you may have repeat periods of symptoms called flares. Withdrawal symptoms can last anywhere from a couple of months to many years.


Topical steroid withdrawal can have a huge effect on people's lives. If the symptoms are severe, they may make it hard to work or have a social life.
