A mum who became a recluse after developing severe eye eczema as a result of menopause that made her look like an “awful red swollen toad” has found a “miraculous” cure after “months of suffering”.
Serena Fenton, 55, from Leeds, a mother of two and grandmother of five, said her skin has always been one of her “best assets” until January 2023, when her eyelids became severely swollen and red – she even had to “wear sunglasses to mask” them.
The property manager’s eyes became “extremely sore and very itchy” in a matter of weeks, and after trying a range of at-home remedies and prescription steroid cream, she saw no improvement – the latter even made her eyelids “slightly worse”.
