Topical steroid withdrawal

Anyone else going through the hell that is topical steroid withdrawal. My 18 year old is doing A levels at the same time. Just feeling so desperately sad for him as he's in such pain and no certainty when it will end. Just venting really and wondering if anyone else is in the same boat

He could try using the cream every other day, or mixing it with something like Aveeno. Steroid withdrawal is horrible - I'm going through it with oral steroids, now that the dosage is reducing.

This might be unhelpful (sorry if it is) but have you tried zinc oxide cream? Also Elidel cream (although care in the sun with this one)

Sending love. It's a HORRIBLE thing to go through
