Baby's eczema so bad it 'looks like she's been burnt', say parents

The mum of an eight-month-old baby girl has described the "torture" behind the severe eczema her daughter has. Aimee Bedwell, 25, said her daughter Riley is covered from head-to-toe in the skin condition.

Aimee even said parts of her body "looks like she's been burnt". Despite being put on an urgent list to see a dermatologist at the hospital, Aimee has been told it could take months or years to get Riley seen.

The family from Wales have been warned that the Welsh NHS currently has huge waiting lists which has left the parents feeling like they've have no choice but to go private. "Her eczema was a lot milder when she was first born, but as time has gone on it has become worse and worse - and for the past three months it has been horrific," Aimee, from Cilgerran, Pembrokeshire, told WalesOnline.
