A woman has shared how she couldn’t leave the house or even look at herself in the mirror after experiencing horrific withdrawal symptoms from eczema creams.
, was diagnosed with mild eczema as a toddler, which doctors prescribed topical steroid creams to treat.
She decided to decrease her use of the medication, later stopping the corticosteroids entirely in June 2021. Daisy continued: ‘I also suffered pus-filled bumps, cracking, itching, nodules, pain, insomnia, hair loss, shivering, fatigue, depression and brain fog. ‘I wouldn’t go anywhere without my eczema creams – they were in all my mum’s bags and even kept on site at school,’ said Daisy.
Typically, steroid creams are used to treat skin inflammation caused by conditions such as psoriasis and eczema. In Daisy’s case, usage continued into her 20s and whenever her skin would flare up, she would be given stronger and stronger doses – both topical and oral. Yet, despite judgement, Daisy’s skin is beginning to recover, and she’s found a new outlet through sharing her TSW journey on Instagram.‘At the start of TSW I felt lost, lonely, vulnerable and found it almost impossible to share my true emotions without getting upset,’ she said.
