Dear Dr. Waismann,
For some years now I have followed your work in amazement.
My reason to turn to you is not so much because I am addicted to any kind of medicine or drug other than anti-histamines. The reason for that is, like millions of people around the world, to maintain itch and other comfort related to eczema.
Besides that, unfortunately, millions of people also get prescribed numerous creams and ointments etc. to heal the effected areas….and they mostly if not all contain steroids.
I am sure you are familiar with the TSW-syndrome (Topical Steroid Withdrawal Syndrome).
Just google it and the pictures and stories are horrendous. At this very moment I am in my third month of TSW…(only recently diagnosed) and even though I am not one of the worst cases it got me thinking how little we as patients know or are even told about the side effects on the long term. My dermatologist gave my steroids as if they were “cupcakes”.
My question to you is:“is there a way of reversing the process of Steroid addiction and TSW or easing it somehow through your methods?" 
I emphasize on the fact that I am not medically schooled by any means and the chance of asking you the impossible is therefore rather very likely but nevertheless I thought of you after seeing and listening to the people who struggle and suffer with this.
You must be a very busy man but I am looking forward to your response.
Thank you and thank you for your wonderful work !
With warm greetings,
Leah Levinson
