Kimberley Wallwork would watch her son Oliver scratch his skin until it bled and then cry in pain

Every night KimberleyWallwork would watch in despair as her son Oliver scratched his skin until it bled and he then cried in pain.

Her little boy had suffered from eczema since he was a year old and his condition meant he barely slept through the night.

'His skin was red raw and he would wake up screaming- he was understandably incredibly grumpy,' says Kimberly, 26.
