Growing up, I was constantly feeling cold and shivering non-stop, despite wearing a jacket in the warm Singapore weather. I didn't know that was a symptom of Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW) and felt like nobody understood what I was going through.
I stumbled upon the decodingTSW (https://decodingtopicalsteroidwithdrawal.com) blog a few years ago, written by Jing Rui, a fellow TSW warrior. It is packed with information on TSW, treatment options and identifying infections. I wish I had this resource during my darkest and loneliest days.
I've since healed from TSW, but recently used protopic on my hands and am now going through withdrawal symptoms. Jing Rui from Skin Solace had sent me a bottle to try on my hands, but I was intially skeptical and afraid of applying new products onto my skin.
After trying out for a few days, I was surprised to see that the skin on my hands, especially fingers were flaking more than usual (which is a good sign). Jing Rui explained that the CJAY Serum was specially formulated for TSW and hardened elephant skin, as it contains amino acids to support my skin cell proliferation.
Several of our EczemaMitten customers have been using it and seeing great results! I could only wish such a product was available to me while I was going through TSW when I was young.
If you are going through TSW or have hardened skin, I highly recommend the CJAY Serum. It is suitable to use even if you are doing No Moisture Therapy or Moisturizer Withdrawal, as it's not considered a moisturizer.
If you would like to try the CJAY Serum, head to https://skinsolace.sg and use the code "ECZEMAMITTEN" to enjoy a 5% discount.
