Eczema, a persistent skin condition characterized by itching and inflammation, affects a significant number of individuals, both young and old. Among the commonly recommended treatments for eczema and psoriasis are topical steroids. However, prolonged usage of these steroids has been associated with severe withdrawal effects on the skin, often surpassing the original symptoms.
Dr. Marvin Rapaport, a distinguished dermatologist and former clinical professor at UCLA, renowned for his expertise in eczema treatment and topical steroid addiction, is advocating for a reconsideration of the utilization of topical steroids among eczema patients.
In a recent appearance, Dr. Rapaport, accompanied by his patient John, emphasized the necessity for a cautious approach to eczema treatment. They shared insights into treatment modalities that have demonstrated efficacy among thousands of Dr. Rapaport’s patients.
