The 'heartbroken' woman is now unable to recognise herself in the mirror and deeply regrets her decision
A Scots woman says steroid cream has 'burned' her skin so badly she no longer recognises herself in the mirror.
Nicole had only turned to steroid creams as a last resort after avoiding them for eight years due to hearing how harsh they can be. Upsetting footage shows Nicole reduced to tears as she is in so much pain from her visibly inflamed and weeping skin. "If I was just to put moisturiser on, it would just sit on top of my skin. The clingfilm lets it absorb more.
"It is like a disability. It completely disables you from doing anything. You cannot live a normal life and that needs to be recognised."If I'd have known the chance of this, I'd have chosen my eczema any day. I wouldn't have ever chosen steroids if I'd known the pain it could cause." "I've been in so much pain some days I've genuinely just not wanted to be here anymore. I've felt my skin is so damaged beyond repair that I just couldn't live my life like this forever."I was so outgoing and confident, and now I couldn't even imagine doing half the things I used to, like walking into a pub and doing karaoke, I just would never do that.
"There's so many people out there suffering. It's not just a rash or a bit of red skin. I would not wish this pain on my worst enemy. After several visits to the GP and referrals to the dermatologist, Nicole has now been prescribed an immunosuppressant drug.
