The Aladdin star, Naomi Scott, shared her experience with eczema and TSW, shedding light on the complexities and challenges of managing chronic skin conditions.
She suffered from eczema since childhood, which is typical since it often starts at a young age. Over the years, she used topical steroid creams to manage her symptoms and eventually became dependent on them.

After stopping to use steroid creams, she faced Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW). Then, she focused on natural healing methods and letting her skin recover without the use of any medication.
For years, Naomi has covered the bouts of eczema with makeup, but now, she no longer tries to mask her condition. Her journey underscores the complexities of managing eczema and TSW in the public eye.
By sharing her story, Naomi has raised awareness and encouraged others to seek appropriate medical care
Through interviews and social media, Naomi has bought awareness about a little-known condition, TSW. It is a misunderstood condition that requires proper care and support.
In a podcast, she mentioned, “But I think it’s really important to talk about because a lot of people are going through it and don’t even realize it’s TSW, they think it’s severe adult eczema.“
While raising awareness about TSW, she encourages people to understand and handle this condition with proper medical guidance and support to manage it effectively.
Talking about the condition, she continued by saying, “Your skin is your biggest organ. It’s not an allergic reaction and it’s not a histamine reaction. It’s nerve damage. The itch is bone deep so you can’t quench the itch“
Furthermore, she manages her condition using non-moisture treatment, cold compresses, and rarely, sometimes, medication for pain and itching.
Moreover, she has also adjusted her diet by reducing dairy intake. In addition, she also advised for emotional support.
Naomi Scott’s openness about her experience highlights the importance of embracing one’s condition and challenging unrealistic beauty standards in Hollywood.
