At one point Rhys had to stop working for 18 months and didn't leave the house for a year - he couldn't even take a shower
Rhys Bell was only three years old when he was first diagnosed with eczema and it has troubled him ever since. For 20 years, he treated his flare-ups with topical steroid cream.
He stopped working for 18 months and didn't leave the house for a year. Rhys said the "debilitating" pain left him barely able to move, fearing that his skin would tear. The resulting effects of constant discomfort and itching left him with insomnia. She said: "I would watch my parents bind his hands when he was little because obviously young children don't understand that they shouldn't itch."
She came up with the Cosi Care Cooling Scratch Star, which features 21 fingernail-like bumps, four on each point and one in the centre, ranging from large to small, just like fingernails. She also developed the Scratch Attack Roller, which offers a cooling, satisfying massage to distract from itchy skin. She explained that the nerve endings that feel an itch are the same that feel cold, so when you use something cold, that desire to itch is satisfied.
Both Rhys and Lauren have also recently discovered they have certain allergies that can spark an eczema flare-up. They said they have been learning to look after their bodies and minds more when dealing with the condition.
