Mum claims 3.50 cream soothed her babys eczema which was so severe the tot couldnt get dressed or leave the – The Sun

A MUM who says her daughters eczema was so severe she couldnt get dressed or leave the house has hailed a 3.50 cream for allowing her to lead a normal life.

Lisa Aaron, 27, from Stockton, said daughter Florence would scream and cry on a daily basis as a result of her red and raw skin.

The five-month-old suffered severe skin flare ups from birth, with Lisa, a full-time mum, saying it worsened around three-months-old.

Lisa, shares Florence with husband Nathaniel, said: At its worse, she couldnt do anything. We couldnt leave the house or go anywhere.

We couldnt put clothes on her she would just get too upset and scream until I undressed her.

Getting dressed in the morning was just the worst part of the day, so most days I would just leave her indoors in a nappy, covered in thick cream.

In desperation Lisa turned to her GP for a solution, but found their advice only provided short-term relief.

She said: Wed been back and forth with the GP several times and made a number of changes to Florences routine and diet, such as changing her milk.

This helped for a few days, but was only a short-term fix.

We tried applying a whole range of different emollients, which again, didnt seem to make much of a difference.

They all had a very thick, paste-like consistency when applying it to her skin and felt very adult.

Lisa was at her wits end as even bath time became a struggle, as Florences skin would react to being dried with a towel.

Lisa said: She was happy to be in the bath, but getting her out was horrendous. As soon as she came out the water and I tried to dry her, she would just burst into tears.

And Florences skin simply got worse in the winter, as she had to wear clothes all the time.

Lisa said: Florences skin definitely got worse as it got colder. She was always much happier skin-to-skin, as opposed to when fully clothed.

As shes getting older and finding her knees and feet, we started to notice her scratching worsen. But we couldnt cover her to stop her scratch, as she couldnt keep clothes on.

Lisa kept trying to find a solution to help her daughters skin, so she saw her GP again, who prescribed a new lotion.

The mum was hesitant to try yet another product after all others had failed, but after using Oilatum Junior Bath Additive and Oilatum Junior Cream just once, Lisa noticed a difference in Florences skin.

And after regularly using Oilatum, Lisa says Florence is now able to lead a normal life, with parts of her eczema clearing up.

Lisa said: She had eczema down the side of her face, which has now completely cleared.

And as a result of this, a few people from our baby class we attend have noticed and asked what were using, as they saw how severe it was before, so weve of course recommended the range.

Oilatum is now an important part of Florences bath time routine. I no longer have the dread of getting her ready in the morning and having that restriction on what to do for the day, due to the worry of whether its going to upset her or not.

I have been recommending Oilatum to all my mummy friends and I can confidently say, it has made not only our beautiful Florences life better, but the whole familys.

And Lisa is finally able to dress Florence in cute clothes and enjoy fun family activities together.

Raving about the change in her daughter, Lisa said: Shes just content, weve got more time when shes just happy and content and playing.

Whereas, previously if she was awake, she was either eating, naked or crying.

Those were kind of the only options. But since using Oilatum, she can play and just be content, its just amazing to see the difference.

Using Oilatum has meant we can dress our daughter in nice clothes, clothes we never would have been able to before, without worrying about her screaming or itching.

Ive also been keen to take her swimming this winter, but I just knew it would cause a flare up, but now we can play fun family activities.

Lisa urged other parents in a similar situation to research the products theyre being prescribed.

She said: I just thought if you were prescribed an emollient that was it, an emollient is an emollient.

I just didnt realise that there was such a difference between them. We tried three different creams before we tried Oilatum, Im just annoyed it took so long to find it.
