A mother with eczema who was bullied at school claims to have found a "miracle" donkey milk salve and can now go swimming for the first time with her children.

Megan Duncan, 24, a planning assistant who lives in Lanarkshire, Scotland, has had the condition which causes inflammation, redness and irritation of the skin "everywhere" on her body since she was a baby, causing her skin to look "raw, sore, flaky and red".

Growing up, she said other pupils commented on her skin constantly and she was often ostracised and felt "sad". She said eating too many eggs or stress can exacerbate her eczema, and she has tried every available cream or topical treatment, and even sunbeds, to alleviate her symptoms, but none have worked.

Megan, who is a single mother to Gracie, two, and Poppy, one can now go swimming, wear shorts and do activities and household chores without experiencing extreme pain and discomfort. "Obviously with everything that happened in school, I would get bullied, so I didn't want to go out and do things with other kids," Megan told PA Real Life. "My friends would go swimming and I would just avoid going completely.
