My sister has it. Do you know why you have eczema? When my sister was little, we found that it flared up when she ate dairy or if she ate too much sugar.

She used to take evening primrose oil but now I think she just uses the cream prescribed afaik.

Yeah, somebody I know has it, and the doctor suggested it could be something to do with eating too much fish. Also it was brought on by stress.

Woops sorry also i do have a cream for it and it works. But i find its still to noticeable for my confidence personally, as its on my face of all places :mad:.
So what i should of said was, does anyone know of something that they find, or know helps apart from using cream.
