So nice to hear a doctor talk about addressing the root cause instead of just recommending prescriptions that will temporarily help symptoms

Had eczema all my life what they don’t tell you is keep your body temperature kool.. do not let your body over heat. Keep your heat at a good temperature because if you don’t you flare up. If you sweat you may flare up. After a shower last rinse should be cool water to lower your body temperature.wash your clothes with sensitive detergent sometimes all detergent bothers you

We turned to feeding our boys organic foods and they rarely have bad flare ups!

I hope this helps somebody but working in the fast food industry or any type of kitchen is bad for eczema. It is a very dry and hot area that will trigger eczema. Eczema needs to be cool. Also, the gloves in the fast food industry will trigger hand eczema, and dry the hands out.
