What we are going to do with Eczema?

Eczema can happen to anyone at any ages throughout his or her lives. The exact cause of eczema is unknown, but it’s thought to be linked to an overactive response by the body’s immune system to an irritant. Eczema is commonly found in families with history of other allergies or asthma too.

As soon as the eczema calmed down from flare out, then you should consider stopping the steroids cream treatment and use other products to maintain your eczema in a manageable condition.
