SUN BLAZE LED GROW LIGHT SKIN
The skin has gone dark where all the dead skin is, it's quite raw where they took the skin off and the top layers are falling off." It can last up to seven years on your skin. "When it's healed I have to put on high SPF three times per day. I've got to wear special SPF gloves when outside until it heals but it isn't healing quickly. Lucy said: "When the sap goes on your skin it removes the melatonin which makes you extremely sensitive to light so perhaps when I went to Spain and was out in the sun it reacted. The plant can grow to 10 feet in height and chemicals in its sap can cause photosensitivity. Touching hogweed causes severe burns and blistering on the skin that lasts for several months. It wouldn't surprise me if I touched it here without knowing then I reacted in Spain." "Since returning, my friend said that our area has a bit of a problem with it. I was extremely surprised I hadn't heard of it. I'm not sure where I touched the plant, in Spain or the UK. Lucy said: "People normally get it on their legs because they walk through it. Lucy doesn't know if she brushed against the plant in the UK or in Spain but says she suspects she may have inadvertently touched it near her home as her area is known for having a 'hogweed problem'.
She said it 'completely ruined the holiday'. I went to the burns unit and the consultant said he knew what it was because he'd seen it before." "I went back to A&E for a couple of days to get it dressed. It was as if my hand had been put in boiling hot water and there were blisters everywhere and some red patches started appearing on my left hand. They treated it as a burn, they took all the blisters off and removed a lot of skin. "They had no clue what it was, no one in A&E had seen it before. We decided to catch a last-minute flight home and went straight to the hospital from the airport. It was blistering, really swollen and I could barely move my fingers. "I went to a pharmacy because it was getting worse, it was a really horrible burning feeling. Lucy, from Maidstone, Kent, said: "I woke up and my hand was red and sore and it looked like a sunburn. Once her hands have fully healed, Lucy will have to slap on sunscreen three times a day and wear SPF gloves to protect her scorched skin from the sun.
There, Lucy had the tops of her blisters scraped off and her hand dressed - a procedure she described as 'painful and traumatising'. After being transferred to the burns unit a doctor who had seen the symptoms before said she must have come into contact with the toxic plant. The 29-year-old mum went to Maidstone A&E in Maidstone, Kent, where medics were initially left stumped as to what had caused the blistering burns. Blisters on hand (Image: Kennedy News and Media)
