Little about Eczema...

The signs of Eczema are reported to be dry itchy red rashes, which might be treated with emollients and steroid cream, however symptoms might return. Eczema may be resulted by suffering from food allergies.
Individuals that suffer from eczema often do not have the ability to process fatty acids. However by supplementing Gamma Lionelic Acid (GLA) which is discovered in evening primrose oil or starflower oil, it is believed they might help overcome this block and stop the condition. Herbalists have advised taking liquorice and preparations of burdock, due to their anti-inflammatory effects. Zinc and Vitamin A supplements may be helpful as both nutrients are said to help promote skin repair.
