Dr Wang Skincare Forms New Partnership to Raise Awareness on Topical Steroids Withdrawal Syndrome
Chatam, NJ (PRWEB) March 31, 2016 -- Dr. Wang Skincare, LLC, developer of novel, non-steroidal skin care products based on powerful traditional Eastern medicines and the rigor of Western science, today announced partnership with ITSAN.org to raise awareness on Red Skin Syndrome which is a term used to describe both topical steroid addiction and topical steroid withdrawal.
Topical steroid withdrawal(TSW) syndrome is a medical condition associated with prolonged and excessive use of topical steroids for various skin diseases, such as eczema and psoriasis. Although topical steroids are effective and safe to treat many of skin conditions for many patients, there are some individuals who can suffer from severe withdrawal when steroids are stopped. The symptoms of TSW range from severe itch, dry, red and flaking skin to full body systemic involvement such as weight loss, fatigue, and hair loss.
TSW is not a well-studied or recognized condition by the medical community. The actual incidence or prevalence of this condition is not known. “I was not aware of this clinical entity,” said Dr. Steven Q. Wang, dermatologist and Co-founder of Dr. Wang Skincare. “We first became aware of this condition after contacted by individuals with TSW who used our Eczema Ointment to heal their skin.” Over the past few months, Dr. Wang and his team have began to work with ITSAN to better understand this entity.
ITSAN is the non-profit organization created to support individuals as they progress through the phases of topical steroid withdrawal. “Our organization was able to leverage the power of internet and social networks to provide resources, guidance and support of thousands of TSW suffers around the world,” said Joey VanDyke, president of ITSAN. “Our members need help, as many of them are undergoing terrible physical, emotional and psychological burdens as they try to cope with this condition.”
The newly formed partnership aims to raise awareness in the public and medical community, to promote new research that can better understand the causes and mechanism of this condition. More importantly, it aims to facilitate effective remedies to help individuals with Topical Steroids Withdrawal Syndrome.
