The existence of this syndrome “does not yet achieve consensus in the scientific community”, indicates the Pierre Fabre Eczema Foundation.

And “if it is indeed an eruption that has occurred after stopping prolonged treatment with cortisone cream, the doctor will probably indicate an alternative treatment to topical corticosteroids and may recommend compresses moistened with cool water, that calm inflammation, as well as possible psychological support. »
