A man was housebound for a year following a visit to his doctor.
Ryan Harding suffered from agonising pain as pus oozed from his blisters covering his body, making it red and crusty. The 28-year-old plumber had been taking prescribed steroid tablets to try and help with eczema but the patches behind his legs began to spread across his entire body.
He told Manchester Evening News that he had tried to "put on a brave face" but is in so much pain that he has been unable to move – leaving him housebound for most of the year.
