A divorcee 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, a mother of two and grandmother of five, said her skin had 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”. Serena “started apologising in advance” when meeting up with people as she was “very self-conscious” of her eyes, and the itchiness continued to make her feel “drained” and have “low moods”, making her not want to go outside.
When researching her condition online, Serena stumbled across Hydrosil Dry Eye Gel, which had rave reviews, so she decided to give it a go. After one day, the itching stopped, and after a week, “the redness and swelling was practically gone” and “the relief was incredible”.
