HELEN Flanagan has breathed a sigh of relief while giving fans an update on her baby son Charlie's worrying skin complaint.
Helen, 33, took to social media in desperation last week after her two-old boy's skin horrifically flared behind one of his knees.

Helen went on to explain to all the "mummies that messaged" her that a prescription cream from the doctor had cleared up his rash.
"I went to my GP and he prescribed me cream for Charlie which was a godsend," she said.
"Go straight to the GP. I don't think I can say what cream it is on Instagram because it's medical."
Helen went on to admit she has "struggled" with Charlie's skin since he was a little baby but that a dermatologist has also been helping.
Helen's call for help came after she had returned home from a holiday in Barbados with her kids – Matilda, seven, Delilah, four, and Charlie.
But sharing a video of her cuddling the tot, she had said: “Charlie’s skin is really, really bad. It’s really sore bless him.
“He’s been so upset bless him so we’re watching Paddington Bear and having lots of cuddles today.”
Helen shares her brood with her ex-fiancé Scott Sinclair. The couple split last year but still co-parent their children.
