My Eczema Is So Bad I Was Offered Cancer Treatment | BORN DIFFERENT

BORN with eczema, Daisy Malin, 26, has suffered with her skin for as long as she can remember. When she turned 24 the pain got so bad that no medication she was offered was helping. One day, after being offered a chemotherapy drug as a last resort to help her skin, she finally had enough and stopped using medication altogether. She claims she is now going through a condition called topical steroid withdrawal; a process where her skin gets worse because she's letting her skin go 'cold turkey' from steroid creams in the hopes it will allow her skin to heal naturally - but has no way of knowing if it will work. Now, she is sharing her story to inspire other people to love themselves and their skin, no matter how difficult it can be when you're in constant pain because of it. Daisy said: "I was offered chemotherapy drugs for my skin at the start of this journey but I declined them. I just don't think that's what I wanted for my life to be depending on it. My skin started getting bad when I was 24 years old, I have severe eczema and I’m currently going through topical steroid withdrawal. About a year ago the steroids stopped working, the drugs I was being offered weren’t an option for me, they were really strong drugs that were used for chemotherapy. I decided that the best route was to go natural and hope that my skin will heal itself.”
