Schoolboy 'in agony' with painful blisters despite using sun cream

A schoolboy's first holiday in three years was "ruined" after he was left covered in "painful blisters" despite applying sun cream.

Kainen Ellis, 11, had been enjoying the sun in Turkey with his family, but it wasn't long before his fun was ruined. Despite being smothered in children's factor 50 Nivea sun cream, he was forced to spend the second week of his holiday hiding in the hotel room because of the painful sunburn.

Mum Jessica said her son was in "absolute agony" as she issued a warning to other parents. The 35-year-old said Kainen's brother Preston, eight, had used different sun cream, but wore the Nivea cream on his nose which quickly erupted in blisters as well.
