Mom of four-year-old with skin condition seeks answers

Samuel Campbell

Four-year-old Samuel Campbell is a very hyper child; on the day of this interview he ran around a section of the Stabroek News’ office, engaging employees and boldly stating his preferences. But according to his mother Deosie Campbell that day was a rarity as many of his days and nights are spent crying out in pain.

Little Samuel has what local doctors have diagnosed as an extreme case of eczema; his mother said they have tried all the prescriptions and remedies suggested but instead of relief the child’s condition has worsened with time.

“I have tried everything and gone everywhere,” the frustrated mother of four told the Sunday Stabroek in tears.

“As a mother it hard to sit and see your child in pain and there is nothing you can do about it,” she continued.
