When we were wee whipper snappers, my older sister had severe eczema all over her arms and legs and even on the back of her neck! More so this caused her great distress because she also had acute asthma and coping with the 2 together when she was only 8 was not a great time of her life I must admit. Once we were sent on a school ...  Read the complete review

I have just read the other ops on this subject and my heart goes out to them all. We all have one thing in common, the dreaded itch. Mine started as a 2 year old, and has carried on ever since. Admittedly I have never been swathed in bandages primarily as I'm too stubborn to wear them, secondly if I get too hot I itch even more! But ...  Read the complete review

Eczema I do not envy anybody who has this skin disease; I have had to watch my daughter suffer with it.
