Boy who suffered from severe eczema for 10 years finally finds cure on own doorstep

A young boy who has suffered all his life with severe eczema has finally found an effective solution right on his doorstep after years of wearing bandages from the neck down to protect his skin. Jack's Ayles' mother Stacey, 31 first noticed the skin condition when he was three months old and the now 10-year-old is finally free from his exhausting symptoms for the first time ever.

Stacey, who lives in Etchingham, East Sussex with her three kids and husband, said when her son's eczema was at its worst, people would stare and comment on his skin as he would sometimes scratch himself so hard that he would bleed. Recalling how it first came about, she said: "It appeared almost overnight. His skin went from baby soft to dry and rough.

"His dad and grandad suffered from eczema, so it runs in the family but Jack’s condition was far worse. He had it from head to toe and was constantly scratching himself.
