Connor's Story
Connor is 10 years old and has suffered with atopic eczema since birth. Connor was born prematurely and as a baby his eczema was intolerable. Connor’s eczema was all over his body, as it was inflamed and infected he needed antibiotics and antihistamines to treat his skin.
Connor was referred to a dermatologist who was extremely helpful and gave us lots of good advice and support on treating his eczema. He also identified that Connor had very sensitive skin and allergies. The most important piece of advice was to keep Connor’s skin well hydrated with emollients to prevent further severe flares of eczema and keep his skin in good condition.
In general the use of emollients on a daily basis has kept Connor's eczema under control, he is a happy and healthy boy. Though the use of emollients was allowing Connor to have a virtually normal childhood his eczema never completely cleared and at night time he suffered. He became very itchy and hot and he sweated profusely, all of which disturbed his sleep, often leaving him tired and grumpy the next morning.
Two month's ago we purchased three pairs of DreamSkin pyjamas (unaware that DreamSkin is available on prescription). Within a very short time Connor’s skin was notably improved as the pyjamas made him so much cooler at night and stopped his skin itching.
Adding DreamSkin Pyjamas into Connor's treatment regime means his eczema is now kept under control 24 hours a day. Connor and the rest of the family now sleep peacefully every single night.
