Suggest Treatment To Cure Eczema
I have had eczema all my life and lately it s been getting worse and the itch becoming more intense. My eosinophil count is very high and I have a number of food allergies; dairy, yeast, eggs, peanuts. I have been on cortisone for well over a decade and now only use it on my scalp which is the worst. What else can I do ?
