community in acknowledging the existence of TSW Syndrome, and the great need for research around the condition. Having a resolution passed in your state or province provides a credible source to bring to doctors who may not be supportive or aware of TSW Syndrome. It will help bolster efforts to gain recognition in the medical world and push forward work to address the need for product label changes and education around the proper use of topical steroids and their associated risks.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\"
