Baby's painful ecezma cleared 'in hours' by £7.99 Holland & Barrett cream

A baby who had 'severe eczema' was 'cured overnight' after trying out a £7.99 cream.

A month after Lola Weston was born her mum, Danielle Wright-Humphreys, 24, noticed a small pink rash appear at the top of her cheek - which spread to the rest of her body within two months. Lola was soon coated in angry red eczema, forcing her mum to make her wear socks on her hands to stop her ferocious scratching.

Danielle, whose son has clear skin, was dumbfounded by Lola’s sudden and unexplained rashes which covered her belly and arms. Living in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, with Lola, her brother Joey Weston, two, and her gas engineer fiancé Joe Weston, 25, she said: “I was caught between a rock and a hard place. I would put cream on her skin and it would flare up, all red and swollen, but when I didn’t, her skin would be so dry it started to chap and bleed.

I couldn’t believe it.”

She said: “She was a month old when I noticed this little patch of dry skin on her cheek. It would flare up every now and then, but I didn’t think too much of it at first. I assumed it was just some irritation from her slobbering in the night. But then, at three months old, I woke up one day and she was trying to scratch herself. She had really dry skin and a rash all over her body.”
