Abstract
Topical steroid withdrawal is increasingly discussed in clinical practice and online, but the label is often applied to several different post-steroid presentations. This letter argues for a balanced approach that recognises possible withdrawal reactions while applying a diagnosis of TSW only when exposure history, phenotype and temporal sequence are compatible and diagnostic mimics have been actively reconsidered.
