What the petition asks
Topical steroid withdrawal (TSW) remains unrecognised as an official condition by the NHS, and sufferers feel they have been misdiagnosed as a result.
Patients are reporting adverse effects from using topical steroids. More evidence-based research needs to be done to understand this condition and prevent further suffering.
