A woman whose eczema covered her entire body and caused a 'snowstorm' when she walked says porridge oats have dramatically improved her skin.

 

Amy-Louise James, 25, had such severe eczema she had to change her bed sheets every day because of her weeping wounds.

She also scratched so much that flakes of skin fell from her body - forcing her to apologise to strangers for being 'disgusting'.

Now she has treated her eczema using Quaker's oats – bought from Tesco for £1.99.

Miss James said spreading porridge over her body has improved her skin - and she is healthier than she has been in years.

She said: 'People don't realise how serious eczema is, they think it's just red skin that's a bit itchy.

'I had to change my bed every day because there would be so much skin and my eczema wept so much the sheets got all sticky.

'I itched constantly and there would be blood on the sheets too. It was just permanently painful.'

Miss James, who works for a recovery firm in Northampton, first suffered from a small flare up aged three.

She said: 'I can't remember not having eczema. It started in the creases of my arms when I was little.'

The eczema gradually spread over her arms and patches appeared on the back of her knees, followed by her hands, stomach and over her legs.
