Living with Eczema

In eczema and atopic dermatitis, an inherited tendency toward sensitive skin produces dry, itchy skin with blister-like eruptions after the sufferer is exposed to allergens and irritants. In psoriasis, which is more difficult to treat, an autoimmune reaction causes the skin to develop red, roughened patches covered with silvery scales. The closest dermatologists have come to a psoriasis cure is management of symptoms through steroidal creams, ultraviolet light therapy, immomodulators and stress relief. Yet there are remedies to make living with these conditions easier.
