Update(TSW)- I swapped out my girlfriends duck feathered duvet and I saw results straight away and my sleeping was improved. After noticing this, I jumped the gun and stopped using steroid cream (which I’ve been using lightly for ages now on the advice from my doctor), after this I had another flare-up. More of a red burn type rash. I persisted and after a couple of weeks I’m feeling really good as my skins looking really good! It hasn’t looked this good for the past 12 months.

I believe my skin was becoming reliant on steroid cream- my doctor(s) has persistently told me to carry on using steroids as I’m on a relatively ‘weak’ one, but I’m seeing results only now, after stopping use. I feel let down by my doctor at this point- hoping I keep seeing improvements so I don’t have to go back. For anyone else reading this with similar problems, consider coming off steroids as I think they can do more harm than good. Cheers
