A personal reflection on the emotional and physical toll of the first year of Topical Steroid Withdrawal. In this post, I share the six things I wish I had known when I was in the thick of it, with honesty, compassion, and encouragement for those just beginning their healing journey.

If you're looking for tools, stories, and support that go beyond the skin, you're in the right place.
