This poor woman sheds her skin every day

This poor woman sheds her skin every day

This woman had such a bad case of eczema, she now sheds her skin everyday. 

Cara Ward1

Cara Ward has suffered from eczema since she was an infant. The skin condition left her dependent on anti-inflammatory steroid creams for treatment. However when her medicated creams stopped working, and she had to take herself off the topical ointments, her body went into withdrawals more horrific than her original skin complaints.


After stopping the creams, her skin reacted very badly and began to peel and flake and became extremely scaley. 


Ward describes the condition as shedding, and says it seems like her body goes through layers of skin on a daily basis.
