Complete Transcript: www.skinterrupt.com/topical-s...
Have you heard that if you're going through Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW), that you just have to wait it out?
My guest today, Dr. Julie Greenberg, is a licensed ND who specializes in integrative dermatology. She is the founder of the Center for Integrative Dermatology, a holistic dermatology clinic that approaches skin problems by finding and treating the root cause.
Dr. Greenberg holds degrees from Northwestern University, Stanford University and Bastyr University, and received advanced clinical training at the Dermatology Clinic at the University of Washington Medical School and at the Pediatric Dermatology Center at Seattle Children’s Hospital.
Join us as we discuss whether TSW really is just a “waiting game” or if there are other things you can do that can help.
SHOW NOTES:
• What is happening to someone going through Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW)?
• Testing that could be helpful for TSW
• Concerns over vastly different potencies of different types of steroid creams
• Is TSW the ONLY thing you need to worry about at the moment (if you're experiencing it)?
• Collagen supplementation for TSW
• Thoughts on adaptogenic herbs - do they have a place to support your body through TSW?

Thank you doctor for sharing so priceless information.

Thank you for replying to my other comment and for this video! So refreshing to see a supportive doctor. I've never had one - so this is so great!

[@jenfugo]

Hi Barbara, I actually have a bunch of episodes on TSW. If you look at the main page of my channel, you'll see a library for all of the TSW episodes. 👍

[@natashaefimoff706]

Thank you for posting this! I am 15months tsw. I googled dr.julie greenberg and very excited she treats patients in the state i live in. Ive just scheduled a free consultation w her, this gives me immense hope and excitement to work w her!!!

[@theintellectual8811]

update?

[@VickyG442]

Thank you both. 😊

[@pikanoodle3410]

Thank you so much for this video! So great that you brought up NMT because the internet kinda made it the only cure to TSW. It’s almost like either NMT or 5year recovery time. Please cover more topics like this, it is very helpful!!!!

[@neelumshamshad2185]

Does thin skin from topical steroid also reverse in 5 years?

[@CatS2288]

Thank you for this information video! I wish we have a practitioner like Dr Greenberg here in the UK! I just wanted to clarify what Dr Greenberg mentioned about liquorice root. I’m almost 4 years into TSW and there’s always been a lot of negativity about liquorice and it mimicking steroids and perhaps causing withdrawal like tsw. I’ve avoided it myself but have found lots of creams etc use liquorice. My takeaway from this video is that liquorice is safe to use for tsw sufferers is that correct?

[@pricklypear1111]

Marin skincare has literally cured my eczema and now I can eat eggs again (after avoiding them for almost 20 years!)

[@CreativeRays]

I have become extremely allergic to eggs in Tsw. Nut, sugar, gluten, everything is allergenic to me. It’s been 5 years Iam on Rinvoq from a year. If I stop Rinvoq, am going back to Tsw. What to do now?

[@hickszn]

I've had tsw for 6 years. Hearing you say it doens't have to take that long kind of broke my heart. Have I been suffering needlessly this whole time? I'm so lost as to where to even turn for help.

[@jenfugo]

There are different routes to take. One is just purely time based. Another is using medication like certain biologics to reduce the symptoms and severity of TSW. And another is to work on root causes of the initial problem (ie. eczema, psoriasis) and support the HPA axis to rebalance the system. They all still take time, but may not take the many years just time alone may take. Perhaps follow someone like Briana Banos on Instagram (she's @preventable_doc) to see what someone who's living with this long term has found helpful

[@nirmalm4296]

And how are you doing now. ?

[@asuranrocks]

WOW i'm surprised a doctor actually talked about TSW!

[@e.p.t.2358]

I am 88 YOA. How much time do I have? Also, if TSW finally works, what about Eczema (the original problem)?

[@worer850]

Cyclosporin 300mg. 1 year..problem solved..dupixant made my face red and gave my conjunctivitis

What happens when u stop it?

[@brianstokes2321]

My wife has TSW, and is now in the 4th month of it. She's at the oozing sequence, which started on her back and has since moved to her arms and legs. Her naturopath has her on some specialized probiotics to affect Ig and histamine levels. The biggest problem that still hasn't healed is her sleep schedule, Is there anything in particular that can be done to fix her adrenal glands faster?

[@Paul-qq7mh]

Try Dr Rapport here on KZbin

[@tobah0211]

I recommend: - Always sleep with a fan on - Always keep nail short - No perfume / skin care products with fragrance - Avoid sugar, dairy, tomatoes - Avoid hot showers - No harsh soaps - Drink chinese herbal tea every night - SUPPLEMENTS!! will help speed up the process - Get enough sleep (especially between 10pm - 2am. Skin repairs during this time - Make sure room and bed sheets are always clean - Drink a lot of water You should also read about NMT, which many ppl with TSW said worked for them. (No moisture treatment) These are some of the things that helped me a lot. And remember: TSW is NOT permanent. She is going to heal as long as she stays away from steroid creams:) Hope she heals fast!

[@Paul-qq7mh]

Mate. NMT is not recommended and diet has nothing to do with it according to Dr Rapport Check out Dr Rapport here on KZbin he specializes in TSW.

[@synopsis5480]

⁠@@Paul-qq7mhI have to disagree I’m in month 4 of tsw and diet does play apart diet and environmental factors my theory is that your eczema still persist along with the tsw so it exacerbates / gets in the way of healing so if your eczema symptoms are going off from diet / environmental it might make the tsw symptoms worse just my theory but what you eat definitely plays apart

[@Paul-qq7mh]

@@synopsis5480 You obviously have allergys to certain foods.
