“I noticed something and went to the doctor - now I’ve not been out all year... I’ve been housebound'
The pain was too agonising for Ryan Harding to bear. Pus oozed from his blisters, his body red and crusty. Curled up in a ball on his bedroom floor, Ryan began to cry.
It all started when Ryan noticed he had eczema on the back of his legs and around his eyes in early 2020. He visited a doctor and was prescribed prednisolone, steroid tablets, to help with the flare-up. On his return to the UK, Ryan returned to hospital and was put on a drip for six days to regain fluids and get his skin under control. He claims steroids were suggested once more, and he took them to “get himself right”.
The drug has helped supress his flare-ups, only having a third recently. Ryan has not taken steroids for seven months and is now on a drug called dupilumab – known as dupixent – which can help treat his flare-ups for good. TSW Syndrome is also an iatrogenic condition, meaning it's a condition caused inadvertently by a medical treatment. Not everyone who uses topical steroids will develop TSWS. It's unclear why some individuals experience TSWS secondary to topical steroid therapy and others do not.
