A woman said that an unbearable itch turned into a nightmare when she began scratching until her skin started peeling off in large layers all over her body.
According to Sophie Purvis, at first she thought it was just a simple allergy or dryness, but later discovered that it was all caused by topical steroid withdrawal syndrome, an extreme reaction that appeared after stopping treatments with corticosteroid creams used for years.
The situation completely affected her daily life, causing pain, insomnia, and social isolation while she desperately searched for a diagnosis and some treatment that would stop the deterioration of her body.
