Strong reaction: Charlotte came out in itchy eczema when she met the love of her life Dean

When Charlotte Davies met her future husband there was an instant attraction.

Unfortunately for her, there was also an instant reaction– on her skin. Within weeks of meeting her soulmate, her eyelids erupted with eczema and her eyes had swelled to the size of golf balls. 

Experts concluded that the euphoria she felt when she was with boyfriend, accountant Dean Strohm, was being played out on her skin.

She was allergic to love. Even more astonishing was that it disappeared after her wedding day.

The university administrator met Dean three years ago in a bar in Colchester, Essex, and the pair quickly became inseparable.

But a month into their relationship Charlotte, 32, awoke to find she could hardly open her eyes.

She said:‘I knew Dean was‘The One’ from the moment we met.

‘I could have described myself as a bit of a Bridget Jones before we met. I was always looking for love, but was hopeless at finding a decent man.

‘When I found him I was deliriously happy but neither of us could fathom out why, when I was so in love, my skin had reacted in such an awful way.’

She added:‘Dean told me he’d love me with red panda eyes or not, but I felt mortified. It was the time when you most want to look your best and I looked awful.’

Doctors struggled to explain the sudden reaction and it was a homeopath who eventually diagnosed the cause as love.
