A young woman claims she was horrified to discover her horror skin condition that turned her boyfriend into her 'carer' was not caused by eczema - but by the creams prescribed by her own doctors.
Charlotte said she didn’t know it was possible to be in so much pain For over 20 years, Charlotte Dacre used steroid creams on the small patches of eczema underneath her knees and arms that she’d has since she was three. But when her creams stopped working, she decided to stop using her medication. Only, Charlotte ended up with topical steroid withdrawal , which left her skin feel like it was burning.
‘I had to go onto oral steroids otherwise my skin wouldn’t stop re-infecting itself.’ Charlotte was put onto oral steroids for two weeks and lost almost two stone, but recovered from the sepsis. After being weaned off the oral steroid, she has since been put on an immunosuppressant typically used to treat cancer. However, her risk of reinfection is now high and Charlotte is terrified of getting septicemia again, as she’s since had another scare this summer.
