A beautician says she can't leave the house without a balaclava after her steroid cream addiction has left her covered in a burning rash.
Karyn Flett started using the creams for patches of eczema when she was just 11 and has spent 40 years relying on it to soothe her condition.
But the 52-year-old claims she decided to quit using the creams after beginning to experience sweats and rashes, similar to menopausal symptoms.
