Mum hails £4.50 'miracle' cream for curing child's eczema in just four days
A Scottish mum has praised a 'miracle' cream that cured her son's severe eczema in just four days.
Five year old Ashton McPhee, who was born with cerebral palsy, began to develop painful scratchy patches of eczema which flared up across his face, shoulders and chest last year.
Ashton's mum, Kerry, felt clueless as to how she could help Ashton, who is non-verbal, after spending months trying out various different steroid creams, ointments and moisturisers only for them to take very little affect.

The cream can be found in LUSH for just £4.50, and is known simply as 'Dream Cream'.
Taking to Facebook to spread the news of the miracle cream, Kelly also posted a collage which showed the vast improvement of Ashton's skin as a result of using the cream.
