The budget moisturiser that cured this three-year-old’s painful eczema

'We had tried everything'.

Three-year-old Evie-Rae has suffered with eczema since birth but has finally found relief in the form of this budget buy.

Mum Paige says Evie-Rae’s eczema would leave her scratching, bleeding and even unable to sleep.

After numerous appointments with dermatologists, prescriptions for antibiotics and creams, Paige could not find anything that would ease her daughters suffering.

The little girl, from Nottingham in England, would get painful rashes around her mouth, all over her hands and at the back of her knees.

Healing came in the form of a budget moisturiser that had Evie-Rae’s skin clear within a week.

“We saw a dermatologist every eight weeks for two-and-a-half years, but nothing we tried seemed to work. It was awful to see her in so much pain,” Paige told The Nottingham Post.

“I saw the moisturising cream on the shelf in Boots and decided to give it a go. Evie-Rae also has a nut, soya and egg allergy, so we have to be careful with what we give her.

“Within a matter of days I could see her skin starting to clear up. I couldn’t believe it.”

The cream in question was Childs Farm Baby Moisturiser which is available in Boots for just €5.29.
