一名英国男子因停止使用湿疹霜而出现严重皮肤病，导致了一种罕见的综合症，促使在国外进行昂贵的实验性治疗。 A UK man's severe skin condition from stopping eczema cream led to a rare syndrome, prompting costly experimental treatment abroad.

一位来自英国科文特里的25岁男子从小就停止每天使用类固醇治疗湿疹, 导致一种罕见的疾病, 称为局部类固醇戒断 (TSW). A 25-year-old man from Coventry, England, developed severe, long-term skin damage after stopping daily steroid cream use for eczema since infancy, leading to a rare condition called topical steroid withdrawal (TSW). 症状包括烧伤、剥皮、发毛、神经疼痛和极度敏感,使他卧床不起,并忍受感染和恐慌。 Symptoms included burning, oozing skin, hair loss, nerve pain, and extreme sensitivity, leaving him bedbound and struggling with infections and panic attacks. 他前往泰国进行实验性冷大气等离子体治疗,在19次疗程后,他的病情有所改善,但留下了持续的伤口和敏感性。 He traveled to Thailand for experimental Cold Atmospheric Plasma therapy, which has improved his condition after 19 sessions but left him with ongoing wounds and sensitivities. 30 664美元的治疗费耗尽了他的积蓄,迫使他卖掉他的汽车,并破坏了他购买住房的计划。 The $30,664 treatment cost has drained his savings, forced him to sell his car, and derailed his plans to buy a home. 他希望能提高对TSW风险的认识, 防止未来案例发生。 Now fundraising for a home-based machine, he hopes greater awareness of TSW risks will prevent future cases.
