TSW Event Report from Japan!

How do you get information on TSW? I'm pretty sure for most people it came from the internet. I myself gathered information on TSW solely from the internet for many years, and from some books more recently. But this time, I got a chance to learn about TSW from dermatologists at a lecture event! Atopic , which is a TSW patients' organisation, holds free lecture events by TSW doctors regularly. In fact, the one I attended was their 24th event. It was divided into two parts to meet the audience's needs - the first half for child patients and the second half for adult patients. I only attended the second one, which lasted for 3 hours. It was very practical and full of useful information. In this post, I would like to report on the event to fellow skin warriors. The 24th Lecture Presentation on Atopic Dermatitis in Tokyo First of all, there were 4 working dermatologists as speakers - Dr. Kenji Sato, Dr. Mitsuko Sato, Dr. Shigeki Fujisawa and Dr.

History of my troubled skin - First Post

Hi, I'm Tommy. I'm female, a video editor and currently living in the UK with my lovely husband. For my first post, I would like to share the history of my skin. All progress pictures can be found here . ------------------------------ Childhood Minor eczema on my arm and leg joints and ears. I didn't use any medication and it naturally went away when I was 11 years old. 2006 (22 years old) It all started like an explosion. One morning, my face and neck flared up terribly. My eyes were swollen up and couldn't open. I didn't know what it was, so went to see a doctor and took a blood test. Nothing came back too abnormal - just a minor allergy on grass and dust. After visiting several other doctors, I finally discovered that it was adult eczema. I was prescribed with a collection of TS and moisturisers. However, none of them worked for me. I tried different doctors, without success. Few months passed. My eczema gradually expanded from my face and neck to my

The reason why your skin flare-up after eating

Since the very early stage of my TSW, I've been noticing that my skin becomes more itchy and red after meals. Even right now as I'm typing, after having pasta for dinner, my face is itchy. You may have the same experience, if you have eczema or are going through TSW / Protopic Withdrawal. When I first noticed this unpleasant phenomenon, I suspected that I must have been allergic to certain food, so took an allergy test. Remembering every single thing I was flaring to was quite a task, because my skin seemed to flare up after eating pretty much any food, at random. However, my allergy test results came back with absolutely no allergy to food. Because I was so convinced that eating made my skin worse, I took another test only to find the same result. At this point, I recall my dermatologist - who firmly believed in the eczema-caused-by-allergy theory - was at a loss. He then modestly brightened up when he found out that I was allergic to dust and grass, at a
