A young man who's been battling an out-of-control skin condition has helped quicken the healing process using a lesser-known Japanese treatment.
Jordan Hendey, from northern New South Wales, has been experiencing 'Topical Steroid Withdrawal' (TSW) since Christmas from overusing steroid cream for 20 years to relieve his eczema.
The 26-year-old marketing agency owner turned to trying 'no moisture therapy' developed by Japanese dermatologist Dr Kenji Sato.

While his skin is healing, he has been avoiding going in the sun, constantly wears long sleeved clothes and is unable to bathe himself.

Jordan suffered from eczema since he was a child and as he got older it started spreading over his body.
While doctors constantly said he would simply 'grow out of it', he said this never occurred.
'I was confused as to why my eczema wasn't going away and didn't realise what was going on until five years ago,' he said.
