Scots woman no longer recognises herself in mirror due to burns from steroid creams
01.02.2023 - 13:51 / dailyrecord.co.uk
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'.
The condition causes her body to feel 'hot and burning', with her skin 'weeping with fluid', meaning she is only able to wear pyjamas and has to take co-codamol and morphine to soothe the extreme pain.
Nicole had only turned to steroid creams as a last resort after avoiding them for eight years due to hearing how harsh they can be.
The 'heartbroken' girl is now unable to recognise herself in the mirror and deeply regrets her decision, which has left her in '10 times more pain' than she ever was with eczema.
She is now in so much pain that she can barely leave the house, has had to quit her job as an admin worker and spends her days applying cream and then having to just lie down - being forced to spend the last four months wearing only pyjamas.
Despite her struggles, Nicole has opened up online about her journey dealing with topical steroid withdrawal, where her videos have reached more than 400,000 views and 20,000 likes.
Upsetting footage shows Nicole reduced to tears as she is in so much pain from her visibly inflamed and weeping skin.
Wanting to raise awareness for how debilitating the skin condition can be, she hopes that sharing her content online
