A woman has revealed her upsetting skin condition has come from an allergic reaction to kissing her pet cat and dog.
Mare Zijlstra, 25, developed Topical Steroid Withdrawal symptoms overnight in 2020 after she stopped using a hormonal ointment that she had been prescribed for eczema and using for eight years.
She believes the condition was caused by her pet, as she was later diagnosed with allergies to dogs, cats, dust mites and pollen.
