A three-year-old girl who has been plagued with painful eczema since birth has been cured by a 3.99 Boots moisturiser, her mother has claimed. <\/p>\n
Evie-Rae's eczema left her bleeding, scratching and unable to sleep, the Nottingham Post reports . <\/p>\n
Mother, Paige Sweeney, 23, from Strelley, Nottingham was desperate for a cure and took her little girl for countless appointments with a dermatologist, who prescribed the toddler antibiotics and steroid cream. <\/p>\n
However despite attending appointments every eight weeks and trying a range of different medications, Evie-Rae's skin still flared up in painful rashes around her mouth, on her hands and in the creases at the back of her knees. <\/p>\n
Paige decided to buy a 3.99 bottle of Child's Farm baby moisturiser from Boots while out shopping and within a week her daughter's skin had cleared up. <\/p>\n
She said: \"I've tried everything in an attempt to help Evie-Rae. She has had eczema since she was born, then when she was five weeks old she was diagnosed with a milk allergy. <\/p>\n
\"Her eczema was so painful that she didn't sleep through the night until she was two. She was constantly scratching and bleeding. <\/p>\n
\"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.\" <\/p>\n
She continued: \"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. <\/p>\n
\"Within a matter of days I could see her skin starting to clear up. I couldn't believe it. The NHS could save a fortune if they put it on prescription.\" <\/p>\n
The unexpected reaction prompted Paige to post on Facebook - and the before and after images ended up being shared more than 40,000 times. <\/p>\n
As a result, Childs Farm's founder Joanna Jensen, who launched the company in 2010 due to her own daughters' fine hair and sensitive skin, got in touch and paid Paige and Evie-Rae a visit. <\/p>\n
Joanna said: \"Paige and Evie-Rae's story is not uncommon to us - but they have shown how one small change can make all the difference. <\/p>\n
\"Since Paige shared her pictures on Facebook, the moisturiser sales have skyrocketed, flying off the shelves at the rate of one bottle per minute. <\/p>\n
\"I was delighted to meet Paige, her sister and Evie-Rae - it was the least I could do to thank them personally for sharing their experience with other parents, and doing wonders for our business. <\/p>\n
\"We are a small, rural business in Hampshire, competing in a space dominated by Global Pharmaceutical companies. <\/p>\n
\"We are constantly overwhelmed by the love and support we get for our brand from parents and their children - and all because I wanted to make bath time more fun and less itchy for my own girls.\" <\/p>\n
