Learn the basics about Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW)—a painful and misunderstood condition caused by medication. This page breaks down what TSW is, frequently asked questions, the history of steroids, and the devastating real life implications endured by too many.

Quickly search by brand or generic name—even international variants—to find out what class your topical steroid belongs to. Understand whether it’s mild, mid-strength, potent, or super potent, so you can properly advocate for yourself at your next doctor’s appointment.

Representation matters—especially when it comes to our skin. These downloadable illustrations uplift, validate, and reflect people living through TSW, eczema, and other visible skin conditions. If they help you share your story, build awareness, or feel seen, then they’ve done their job.

Update your closet and wear your truth. Every piece in the Awareness Apparel line is designed to start conversations, spread awareness, and make invisible conditions visible. Proceeds help fund advocacy, education, and direct support for those experiencing TSW.
