Hi I am Keisi Lugo and as some may know i have been going through Topical Steroid Withdrawal for the last 7 months. Topical Steroid Withdrawal is a condition created by the overuse of topical steroids. I have had eczema for as long as I can remember. I have always used steroid creams on and off, however once I gave birth the change in hormones caused me to have terrible flare ups. I did not want to use topical steroids (TS) so I kept changing my diet and trying holistic things to heal myself. I now know how to properly heal but at the time I did not have the knowledge to do so.
After seeing multiple dermatologist and voicing myself and telling them I know there are root causes to my eczema and I can be healed without the use of TS, all they ever did was prescribe me TS. Eventually I caved and resumed the use of steroids just to experience some relief. In doing so I began to go into topical steroid withdrawal while still using the steroids because my body had became so addicted. The symptoms of topical steroid addiction are absolutely terrible and I wish no one would ever have to experience this. My skin burned terribly, I had the chills for over a month, I have had significant hair loss, honestly the list of symptoms is endless. Also having to experience while also care for my baby has been extremely difficult to say the least. I am currently on dupixent to help with some of the worst symptoms, however this is not the answer. I am still having major facial flare ups and I am experiencing terrible side effects from the medication.
I am wishing to receive Cold Atmospheric Plasma therapy that is only offered in three places. The UK, Thailand, and Singapore. CAP therapy has proven to be an extremely effective treatment for TSW. Without this treatment I could be looking at an 8 year long healing journey. This treatment is costly and I would have to relocate for approximately 6 months. I know times are difficult but any donation or share would be greatly appreciated from the bottom of my heart.
