As I mentioned in my comment I mentioned steroid withdrawal to many doctors when my son was literally only sleeping an hour or so a night from itching and I was dismissed out of hand.
If its not kickbacks, then its such a terrible arrogance as to be evil.
How can a dermatologist not know of my son's condition? Particularly seeing as steroids have been around for a while as you've mentioned. Even when I brought the idea to the dermatologist, after a bit of head nodding his solution was another two weeks of a yet stronger steroid to `calm it down`, and then to taper.
There's a nonprofit trying to get doctors to properly acknowledge the condition.
There's as I linked above about a million videos of people recovering from TSW as well.
There's even a study out of Autstralia that followed 10 children with what was called bad eczema, but after a withdrawal period every child at max had pruritis on elbows or knees.

If my job were skin, and topical steroids was one of the main things I used as a tool, how could I not know about these issues? You'd have to be such a hack that nobody would consider you a professional, yet the same dermatologist that offered yet another round of steroids had his office on the penthouse suite of a downtown building with a showcase displaying awards.
It may seem hyperbolic to you, but you didn't live through this like I did. You didn't see your young child in complete misery due to medical authorities you thought you could trust misguiding you. It's evil of some form.
