A four-month-old girl had eczema so severe she would leave her pillow bloody and cry uncontrollably before discovering a ‘miracle’ cure.
Millie Zweifel’s mother Jen, 35, said her daughter had eczema on her face and scalp that ‘crusts and comes off in yellow chunks’.
‘Millie’s face gets so sore she can’t stop crying,’ Ms Zweifel said.

Millie’s mum, Jen, said her daughter would cry uncontrollably and leave pillows bloody because of her dry skin
‘She claws at her face and scalp, her pillow is sometimes covered in blood.’
Australia has one of the biggest eczema problems in the world with about one third of the population diagnosed with the debilitating skin condition.
People with eczema often suffer from chronic itchiness, rashes, weeping sores and rough skin.
Ms Zweifel said the Scalp Cream and an Eczema and Psoriasis Cream from Australian skincare brand MooGoo have been miracle products to help ease Millie’s eczema.

Millie’s eczema mainly affects her scalp and face but can spread all over her body when her skin is extremely irritated
‘As soon as I apply it to her face it immediately calms it and the redness disappears. It’s amazing and really comforts her,’ she said.
‘Because she’s got such thick hair, I massage it into her hair and scalp like conditioner and leave it for a few hours, and then comb it out. It comes out really easily, and then I wash her hair.’
Melody Livingstone, CEO of MooGoo, said she’s noticed the rise of eczema patients.
‘Australia has one of the highest incidences of eczema in the world, and it is only getting worse – 50 years ago, only one in 10 Australian children suffered from it,’ she said.

‘Eczema can develop for a number of reasons, including climate, lifestyle, hygiene and genetics. The skin can easily become infected, causing pain, inflammation and lack of sleep.
‘Research shows the number of cases of eczema is on the rise worldwide, but we don’t know why that is.
‘There are more people with eczema than ever before – we’re selling an eczema cream every two minutes.
‘As there is no proven cure for eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis, education and keeping the symptoms under control is critical.’
