'Eczema caused by menopause made me look like a vampire - until I found £9.50 Hydrosil Dry Eye Gel cream'

A woman who became reclusive after eczema caused by the menopause spread across her face making her “look like a vampire” now feels able to socialise again after finding a “miracle” cream cure. Natasha Bishop, 51, an administrator, noticed the flare-up around her neck in September 2020 which, by Christmas, spread across her face and eyes.

Embarrassed by her condition, Natasha avoided seeing people, only venturing out of the house to go to work. But a combination of prescription cream and a natural eye gel has helped Natasha regain her confidence and start socialising again.

Natasha, who has two grown-up children, said: “The skin around my eyes was so sore, hot, swollen and itchy, I could no longer bear it. I was unable to sleep very well and I became embarrassed of my looks, and was not very unsociable. I’d started saying I was busy or not well so as not to appear in public. I felt I was starting to lose my confidence.”
