Eczema is a group of medical conditions that cause the skin
to become inflamed or irritated. Eczematous diseases are very common with an
estimated prevalence of more than 10% in the general population. According to
statistics 15-25% of all dermatological patients suffer from eczema.
The most common type is known as atopic eczema, or atopic
dermatitis. Inflamed and itchy skin is characteristic for people who have this
problem. They also have rashes in some parts of their body such as the face,
wrists, knees, hands, face, and the back of the knees, or in some cases over
the entire body.
There are many lotions and creams that are prescribed to
relieve itching, but many ointments and OTC drugs result in severe side
effects. We recommend you to try ACV instead; it is simple to use but very
effective.
