'I tried to scratch my itching eyes out at night - but one woman's comment changed everything'

ok.co.uk:

Four years ago, during a particularly stressful period when my husband was battling Covid in intensive care, I developed eczema for the first time.

Since then, it's been a constant battle with flare-ups that seem to occur without any clear trigger. As a colour analyst and personal stylist, my role is to boost others' confidence and help them embrace their unique style.

However, dealing with eczema has tested my own body confidence.The flare-ups usually start on my left eyelid or behind my ear, and there have been nights where I've scratched my cornea in my sleep, leading to numerous trips to the optician and eye hospital.

My husband even suggested I should wear baby mittens to bed! This year, I decided to take control of my condition by using a personal nutrition app to make small dietary changes and switched to a kefir-based cream instead of steroids.
