A cute baby suffering from eczema was forced to wear mittens to stop scratching herself, causing her skin to bleed. However, Nola Harris-Rodigues was born an otherwise healthy and happy baby on December 15, 2021.

At three months old, her face, scalp and body were covered in red, flaky skin as well as weeping sores. Desperate to make her baby better, mum Emily, 25, tried a wide variety of moisturiser creams.

Despite this, nothing she tried seemed to make a difference, until she stumbled upon an advert for Balmond's Skin Salvation cream.

"I was scared she would have that skin for the rest of her life but her skin is completely smooth and clear now," Emily said. "She finally has baby soft skin, like she should have." She added: “I never thought too much of it at first because health visitors and midwives said it was quite common for babies to have dry skin. “But it gradually started to look more red and flaky.” By three months of age, Nola was completely covered in red and dry eczema.

It was horrible. It was so bad she had open sores which wept onto her clothes and we had to get antibiotics prescribed.” Emily said: “If she was ever naked or had any skin out she would be so frustrated and scratch herself to the point that she would bleed.” She added: “I had to get these sleeves to put on her hands to stop her from scratching her skin.
