A mother has described the heartbreak of watching her son scratch himself until he bled due to severe eczema.

Jessica Chandler said her son Ollie, who is now nearly two, developed skin so dry and flaky it looked as though he has been in a fire.

She was mortified when strangers repeatedly asked if Ollie had been burned, and felt paranoid other parents believed she was neglecting her son.

After an embarrassing confrontation on a train, in which she was once again asked how her baby got burned, Miss Chandler became determined to find a treatment that would help.
