TSW (Topical Steroid Withdrawal)

[Fred]

This is indeed what I conclude time and time again, with all new members. They all go through the same path at the dermatologist. And those dermatologists, or other doctors, don't seem to learn.
The path via Steroids, creams and e.g. also MTX, is "wrong", just plain wrong, but they don't seem to know. And also don't seem to learn this in school, I explicitly call it school, as it can hardly be called University by making so much mistakes. (my frustration)

I don't think that it's because they don't know, it's probably more down to the protocol that they have to follow.

What I understood of Steroids is that they increase the making of new skin. Am I correct?

Well if you look here: Dovobet Ointment you will see under side affects the mention of Dry Skin, Eczema, and Psoriasis amongst others listed in Adverse Reactions.
So you are probably right (for a change)

if you stop with a psoriasis treatment, normally the psoriasis comes back in increased form. Unfortunately

Yes this is usually true, especially with something like Dovobet. One should wean themselves off it slowly, as stopping abruptly could make it worse.

For myself I always keep a tube of Dovobet handy as it can soon get the job done, but you must learn to use it properly and I think that is where a lot of people go wrong.
