Child's face 'eaten alive' by herpes virus caught from kissing relative

A toddler has had her face "eaten alive" by a shocking herpes virus she caught from kissing a relative's cold sore. 


According to mirror Sienna Duffield, 3, was diagnosed with herpes earlier in the year - a contagious virus which caused blisters to spread across her face. 

The toddler has recovered from the scare which began in October 2015 when she kissed a family member which caused the severe infection.


Her mother , Savina French-Bell, 21, from Gloucester, had to wash Sienna's bed sheets daily and constantly throw out clothes because of daily blood stains from Sienna's sores.

The painful blisters were extremely itchy and caused Sienna's sensitive skin to be covered in blood stains and pus.

Sienna was admitted to hospital on her second birthday in October 2015 where she was placed on an IV drip because she had stopped eating.

Savina then sought advice for creams and antibiotics to prevent Sienna's condition from getting even worse.
The young mother is now sharing her story to help other parents battling the same condition.
