Baby with eczema so painful he had to be held down to stop him scratching cured by £8 ‘miracle’ cream
A BABY with eczema so severe it hurt him to be cuddled has been transformed by a 'life changing' moisturiser that costs only £8, his mum has revealed.
But one morning, the then five-month-old became seriously unwell and, covered in eczema from head to toe, was taken to hospital where he had to be attached to an intravenous drip for four days. "He wasn't able to meet physical milestones as other babies his age as we couldn't let him do tummy time as he'd rub his sore face on the floor, and he was desperate to crawl.
And night times were worse, as Alex broke out of his swaddle or sleeping bag desperately trying to itch his face, leaving it weeping and bleeding. She said: "Lots of other mums had recommended it. I tried it on Alex and his skin improved within a week - the redness went down, it was less dry and looked healthier.
