A Leeds woman who became a recluse after developing severe eczema triggered by the menopause has found a 'miracle' cure.
Serena Fenton said she went through "months of suffering" when the skin condition flared up around her eyes, making her look like an "awful red swollen toad". The 55-year-old mother of two said that previously her skin had been one of her best assets, but in January 2023 she found that her eyes suddenly became severely swollen and red.
The property manager said she even went as far as wearing sunglasses so that she could 'mask' her "extremely sore and very itchy" eyes when leaving the house. Serena also said she began apologising to people she met up with in advance, as she was feeling very self-conscious of her eyes.
