A Scots woman says steroid cream has 'burned' her skin so badly she no longer recognises herself in the mirror.
Nicole Mackenzie, 26, from Glasgow started using topical steroid cream to treat her eczema just over a year ago and has re-apply moisturiser every 30 minutes, but says within six months the steroids had 'eaten away' her skin 'beyond repair' and she can barely move.
Her skin condition got so 'horrific' that in October last year she had to move out of her flat with her boyfriend to live at home with her mum, where she now describes her days as 'empty' and 'painful'.
