Woman covered in severe eczema which caused 'snowstorm' when she walked cured by PORRIDGE

An eczema sufferer whose painful condition covered her entire body causing a "snowstorm" of flaky skin when she walked has found a surprise cure in the cereal aisle.

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

The 25-year-old spent years slathering her sore skin in steroid creams but they had little effect and over time her condition actually seemed to get worse.

But Amy-Louise found a successful treatment for her eczema in Quakers oats bought from Tesco for 1.99.

She said spreading porridge over her body has made her skin fresher and she is healthier than she has been in years.

Amy-Louise, a controller for a recovery firm, said: People dont realise how serious eczema is, they think its just red skin thats 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.

There would be blood on the sheets too. It was just permanently painful.

Amy-Louise, from Northampton, would scratch so much, flakes of skin fell from her body.
