A mother claims her psoriasis disappeared after using a cream for children that has been branded a 'miracle moisturiser'. Laura Gray, from the North East, suffered from the incurable skin condition for years. Only 'harsh' creams from pharmacists offered her any sort of relief.

But her patches were gone within a day after her mother's suggestion to try Childs Farm Baby Moisturiser, which she bought from Asda.

Her post on Facebook recommending the £3.99 product, which is aimed at children, went viral and attracted more than 40,000 shares.

She wrote: 'Needed to share this with you all. I suffer from psoriasis, have done for years. 'I get it all up my arms, neck and chest and up until yesterday only hydrocortisone cream would get rid of it, but it’s really harsh and only pharmacists can give it you.

'Yesterday my Mam told me try this baby moisturiser, I’m not joking 24 hours later my psoriasis is gone. Anyone suffering with psoriasis or eczema you need to try this.'

Ms Gray is one of just dozens of women who claim to have noticed benefits.
