I am a 60-ish married engineer that has dealt with moderate eczema my entire life, primarily through the use of topical steroids. In early 2012 things started going wrong, and this blog is a personal diary of my journey through Topical Steroid Withdrawal, also known as Red Skin Syndrome, Topical Steroid Addiction, or Steroid Induced Eczema. I have been completely free from all steroids since July 9, 2013. Please see www.itsan.org for more info and feel free to post here!

September 11, 2013 - My Eyes
One thing I have been thankful for is that my face has been relatively unaffected. Well, so much for that. I have got poofy eyes. It may just be due to continued use of ibuprofen to help the itching, I'll have to wait and see. They do not itch. In the meantime, the hot/cold issue has worsened. In discussing that part of this with my wife, it seems I am experiencing the exact same hot flash symptoms of menopause.
