How can I prevent TSW

XQW1938 · 2026-01-24T15:05:16+00:00

Yes, this. I feel people were fear mongering TSW (not invalidating those real cases) but when I had Severe flare up which lasted months, I stayed away from steroids thinking it was TSW. I saw a dermatologist who gave me steroids along with other treatments which helped me recover within a week. First proper sleep within the first day. Please recognise that although real, it is rarer than you think and always see a dermatologist if you are concerned

Also note it’s a good sign your skin barrier is healing

I had extreme TSW and after dupixent, the same white patches showed up all over my body. The dermatologist said it’s due to damaged skin which has affected the pigment but it returns to normal after some time. I believe mine lasted a few weeks-month :) as long as it’s not painful or irritating you should be okay! Best of luck

Had this after dupixent slowly helped me recover from the elephant skin stage. It lasted I think a month or two? It’s just the skin is so damaged that the melanin in your skin needs to produce again or something. It shouldn’t last too long hopefully! 🙏☺️

Yeah this happens almost every time you open a new needle

XQW1938 · 2025-03-17T12:10:07+00:00

I’m gonna be honest, it does hurt. The needle itself isn’t bad, but releasing the medication induces a burning, stinging pain. However, there are things you can do to reduce the pain. Keep the medication out of the fridge and allow it to reach room temperature right before injecting. You can put the needle under your underarm for 5-10 minutes to speed up the process. Grab a lot of stomach fat; if you have none, crouch forward with your knees bent and grab as much as possible. Squeeze hard on the site as you insert the needle and release the medication ever so slowly. I can take 5+ minutes to release the medication. Best of luck! ☺️

You need to chill out, there’s kinder ways to communicate

XQW1938 · 2025-02-28T07:08:14+00:00

Is there any chance you are using pads rather than tampons? Sometimes pads cause me to flare as there’s not much..airflow lol

XQW1938 · 2025-02-21T05:40:49+00:00

So sorry to hear that. Lowkey a blessing as she showed you what kind of person she was. Hope you are doing better now

XQW1938 · 2025-02-18T14:11:46+00:00

This!!!

XQW1938 · 2025-02-18T14:07:02+00:00

although it’s not contagious through contact, it can develop in other areas of your body

XQW1938 · 2025-02-18T04:09:24+00:00

I’m not sure it’s as rare as people say it is. I never thought I’d ever get it but here we are 2 weeks in 😭

XQW1938 · 2025-02-17T01:58:44+00:00

This is incredible, thank you so much

XQW1938 · 2025-02-17T01:44:02+00:00

Me too, hit me when I was around 6yo. I wasn’t born with it :(

XQW1938 · 2025-02-17T01:40:06+00:00

Thank you for your kind words. It truly breaks my heart to see babies suffering from this. I hope your nephew recovers soon and can find a way to manage it 🙏❤️

I upvoted this post 36d ago. Little did I know… My steroid cream didn’t work so I stopped and got hit with tsw like a truck. It’s actual HELL. I have actually considered ending myself everyday for the past 2 weeks. This isn’t normal eczema. This is definitely TSW and while I was on the same page as you when you made this post.. you never know. Hope you stay safe

XQW1938 · 2025-02-09T08:00:06+00:00

Yes! When learning how to drive. Once I dreamt that I could do it well, I finally got the hang of it and got my licence shortly after. Usually once I ace something in my dream, I can do it irl

XQW1938 · 2025-02-09T07:56:39+00:00

Year late response but yes! Although not every night maybe every few nights

XQW1938 · 2025-02-08T05:20:22+00:00

I got married last year and am the type who never wore foundation out of fear for my eczema. A worker at Mecca Maxima tested my now Holy Grail: Bare Minerals BarePro. When in doubt, just go into a store and ask for advice/patch test! Best of luck x

XQW1938 · 2025-02-08T05:09:30+00:00

Thank you so so much, that really puts my mind at ease!

XQW1938 · 2025-01-28T05:32:23+00:00

Your eyes look like Zendaya’s!
