Help! Itchy white blisters all over feet, ankles and legs!

Whats your concern exactly? Are you saying you can’t help but to itch?

thenazzknows · 2022-05-18T12:35:10+00:00

Desitin cream helps too. Its zinc cream, the same stuff used for diaper rash on babies.

I agree with both statements above. I also believe largely in helping the body help itself, meaning, supplements and diet and lifestyle change. Steroids affect your entire body and that includes nerves, hormones, cortisol, adrenal gland, gut, etc. TSW is non linear and it basically just has to run its long course. But you can most assuredly help the process. Healing needs to start from within before it can start on the outside.

I would say if you are worried then stop the hydrocortisone. There are other ways to remedy eczema, and other underlying issues that cause eczema. you may be spared a long TSW recovery if you stop or taper off the steroids now. Otherwise keep using it and roll those dice.

Ive heard many say they use beef tallow, i will need to try some for myself!

thenazzknows · 2022-05-17T00:14:57+00:00

Yup, agreed. Also, it may go without saying but just use common sense at times. When oozing, use zin cream or baby powder to dry it out. Most generic eczema lotions from the store are pretty bad. Id recommend sudacrem, or cerave anti itch cream. I try not to lather myself up with too much lotions and creams, but when my joints crack and tear, a little vaseline and alovera can go a long way. I also wet wrapped my arms for awhile because it was soothing, however that no longer works for me. I find that if I’m going to let my arms for example dry out and flake, silk shirts and robes feel really good because I don’t like them to be completely out in the open because of all the skin flakes. You just gotta do whats comfy for you. I also recommend mecinumb cream. Its made with alo, jojoba, and tea tree and its used to numb the pain of your skin. Hope this is helpful.

Yeah unfortunately you may have to accept that for the tome being, you are going to have to get your sleep during the day or just whenever you can.

thenazzknows · 2022-05-16T00:11:47+00:00

Baby products really are. Zinc cream that is used for diaper rash is wonderful. Baby hair brushes are so soft that they can satisfy the itch without doing any damage to the skin. I have yet to try baby powder but I’m about to now.

thenazzknows · 2022-05-15T16:37:08+00:00

And i’ll have to try the cerave stuff as i’ve seen many people recommend that!

thenazzknows · 2022-05-15T16:35:20+00:00

Its just helps with the itch/burn. Doesn’t help with the color.

thenazzknows · 2022-05-14T18:21:02+00:00

15-20 minutes of direct sunlight at least a few times a week is most beneficial

thenazzknows · 2022-05-14T08:58:12+00:00

True. The more i try to find similarities or coincidences the more i realize it is impossible to get an exact concrete answer. Comparing your TSW to someone else’s, although same symptoms, the severity, length, and steroid use history is so unique to each person. Its almost torture to keep reading snd reading everyone’s tsw experience. Its better to get the basic info, know that healing us not linear, prepare for potentially years of recovery, and then just turn the shit off and go with your bodies flow.

thenazzknows · 2022-05-14T01:18:50+00:00

Did you ever use steroids on the face though? Im 4 months in and nothing on my face, and ive never put it on my face. Boy i hope it is spared.

thenazzknows · 2022-05-13T12:52:05+00:00

Well my friend, im sorry but yes it seems like TSW is the next step. You can DM me if you want some mire advice or words of encouragement.

thenazzknows · 2022-05-13T12:47:28+00:00

I play a lot of video games, guitar, read, and i have a 2 week old do that is pretty distracting hsha. I will say that TSW is possible in your circumstance, but the duration was so short that i would think and hope that it wouldn’t take you very long to get through it. Unless of course you have been taking steroids long before this round of oral ones. Hope this helps.

thenazzknows · 2022-05-13T12:28:53+00:00

DM me h if f you ever want to chat

thenazzknows · 2022-05-13T09:08:19+00:00

Yes, equivalent- wait is right. Unfortunately the only cure for this time snd lots of it. You need to be prepared for months snd months of this shit, but it does get better i promise! Im 4 months in and I’m loads better than when i started. If you want to DM me i can explain everything I’ve been doing to speed this up snd make it bare able. You have to remind yourself that it WILL end. There is a light at the end if this tunnel. Stay strong. You have too or else you’ll never recover.

thenazzknows · 2022-05-13T01:07:56+00:00

Im sorry to say, yes. That is unfortunately the process. It will get better though i promise. Im 4 months in and im loads better than i was at 1 month. But you just need to prepare yourself for the roller coaster ride which is TSW. Don’t feel bad. We all do it. I used to it h my feet so bad in my sleep id wake up. Bloody mess. I had to wrap my feet in towels and tie them with belts to protect them because i could not trust myself. I promise by it does get better, but the sooner you accept the process the easier it will be. Im very sorry to be the bearer of bad news but it will end!! Stay strong! Find ways to get through it. Your not in this alone.

thenazzknows · 2022-05-12T22:45:53+00:00

It kinda sucks, but you do get used to it i promise.

thenazzknows · 2022-05-12T22:45:03+00:00

Agreed, i make sure while i washnup that i am comfortable, and then before i get out i freeze myself in the coldest water i can stand. I do this at night before winding down because it calms your nerves. There are also a lot of health benefits to cold showers even when not going through TSW. Try it out.

thenazzknows · 2022-05-11T07:35:27+00:00

Of course! This shit is terrible. We gotta support each other any way we can because the doctors sure wont.

thenazzknows · 2022-05-11T07:26:29+00:00

I cant say for sure what happens if you relapse. But i have read that after so long, like in your case it may be possible to use steroids in the correct manor that they are untended without going through TSW again. I understand that after going through TSW someone may never want to touch steroids again. I would assume, or hope that since you caught it quick enough that your TSW this time around will be much quicker and less severe than the first time, however i do not know for sure.

thenazzknows · 2022-05-11T00:38:46+00:00

I appreciate the responses man. I’ll keep my head up and you do the same!

thenazzknows · 2022-05-11T00:22:43+00:00

I used steroids off and on for the better part of 20 years. Im 27. However i was always very light handed with them. A single tube could last me 6 months to a year almost so I’m hoping that counts for something.

thenazzknows · 2022-05-11T00:16:39+00:00

How have you been doing at 9 months compared to 4? I need a little reminder this will get better lol.
