Prednisone is an oral steroid, while Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW) specifically occurs from discontinuing topical steroids (creams, ointments, and foams) after long-term use. TSW is not associated with oral prednisone use.

TSW symptoms typically include:
• Skin redness beyond original eczema areas
• Oozing rashes
• Intense itching and burning
• Flaking skin
• Skin sensitivity While prednisone doesn't cause TSW, it has its own set of potential side effects when stopped, including temporary worsening of eczema symptoms. Always work with your doctor on how to properly discontinue prednisone to minimize any rebound effects.
