The nine-year-old, from Fallowfield, was playing with the sticky sensory toy with a friend when small spots started appearing on her skin.

The strange spots turned into bumps and later into blisters which would seep and become infected.

Her infection skin eventually became so severe M'Layah ended up in a wheelchair and spent time on a hospital ward.

And although the youngster had suffered from eczema since she was a baby, the skin condition worsened drastically after playing with the popular gooey substance.

Sadly, following various treatments and creams, M'Layah continues to struggle with her extreme flare-up the pain impacting every aspect of her daily life.

"Since she played with the slime, everything has been bad," mum Katherine, 43, told the Manchester Evening News.
