A woman has opened up about the extreme withdrawal symptoms she suffered as a result of stopping the steroid creams used to treat her eczema, which resulted in her shedding skin and even losing her vision.
Bethany Jones, 29, says her withdrawal symptoms were so severe, doctors feared she had cancer, and she was left barely able to recognise herself in the mirror.
The sales manager was first treated with topical steroid creams at the age of just two years old and was prescribed a stronger cream at 19 after a flare-up on her hands.
