When did you cease using topical steroids: April 15th 2016
What type did you use: Triamcinolone ointment
What is your favorite product for comfort? I love the Aquaphor ointment, Shikai Tea tree shampoo and conditioner (cured my scalp), and garlic. I used to take baths with Dead Sea salt or Epsom salt, ACV, tea tree shampoo and garlic (gave me so much relief and prevented infections).
What is the hardest thing to deal with during this condition? The hardest part of TSW is how unpredictable it is and not knowing if or when it will be over. Missing time with my loved ones and not being able to sleep!
What is the first thing you will do when healed? Spend the day at the beach with my loved ones and eat my favorite food.

What is the hardest thing to deal with during this condition? The hardest part of this journey is the time I have lost. The itch disappears, pain fades, skin heals, but time is something you can never get back.
What is the first thing you will do when healed? The first thing I want to do once I am healed is lay in the sun with my pets.
