The man living with eczema so severe that washing 'burns' his skin

Meet the man whose eczema is so bad that it feels like burning when he washes. Connor Simpson said it was "ruining" his life.

Connor has been confined to his bed on a regular basis over the past year-and-a-half due to the condition and the pain it causes him. He said it felt like his skin was permanently burned.

He said it was "cracked, bleeding, loose and extremely itchy". Connor, 23, from Elephant and Castle in London, also endures constant shedding of his skin. He said it had led to him falling out with his mum, who had to clean his skin off of furniture and floors at home.
