A severe milk allergy left a baby screaming in agony as eczema covered 98 per cent of his body, his mother has revealed.
Charlotte Smallwood, 25, from Romford in Essex, claimed doctors refused to diagnose a cow s milk protein allergy (CMPA) and instead offered her son Arthur treatments for colic and acid reflux.
It took seven months after Arthur s birth in April 2020 for specialists to see Mrs Smallwood so he could be diagnosed and given a treatment that worked.
