A woman who suffered from eczema was left bedridden after an extreme reaction to cream caused her skill to peel off.
Natalie Merchant Wright said she was treated like a leper after topical steroid withdrawal left her 'clawing herself raw' for 20 years - and in so much pain she has to be spoon-fed by her hubby.
The dancer started suffering from mild eczema at just two months old and was given steroid cream by the doctor, but unknowingly became 'addicted' to it.
