THE mum of a new born boy who suffered from eczema so badly that his skin kept weeping and peeling off, wants to share her story after finding a miracle cream.

Emma and Damien Postlethwaite, who live in Sneyd Green, were blessed with a baby boy last November.

When Austin was a week old, he developed a few spots over his cheeks, which a health visitor informed the couple was nothing to worry about as it was probably just baby acne, which was very common due to Emma's hormones still in his system.

But seven weeks later, little Austin's skin 'erupted'.

The 31-year-old mum-of-one said: "One morning when he was about eight weeks old, we found that Austin's cheeks and forehead had erupted.

"There is no other word to describe it. Our beautiful boy had a thick crust across his forehead where his face had been weeping overnight, and cheeks so red and sore.

"He looked like he had been burnt.

"I immediately took him to the walk-in centre and saw a doctor, who prescribed Diprobase and a course of oral antibiotics.

"He uttered something about eczema and said to moisturise several times a day and that he would grow out of it."
