21-year-old Mailir Rowlands from the UK, who suffered from eczema, abruptly stopped using steroid creams, triggering withdrawal syndrome with severe skin inflammation that left him bedridden. He is raising funds for cold atmospheric plasma treatment.

21-year-old Mailir Rowlands from the UK, who suffered from severe eczema since childhood, decided in his first year of university to completely stop using the steroid creams he had used to relieve symptoms. The abrupt withdrawal caused topical steroid withdrawal syndrome: extensive rash and severe inflammation covered almost his entire body, leaving him immobile and bedridden. Mailir describes the condition as "skin burning and being electrocuted every second." He cannot sleep and dreams of returning to a normal life. For treatment, he is raising funds for innovative cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) therapy, which may alleviate the condition and restore the skin.
