Change your diet, heal your eczema!

I saw the following question in the Mind Your Body of the Straits Times dated 2011-09-29.

Based on my personal experience, to heal her eczema completely the 14-year-old girl need to change her diet to a healthy plant based diet and take healthy supplements and avoid almost all processed food and junk food for at least 4 months to 1 year or longer. If you need more information, please let me know.

Eczema getting worse

Question: My 14-year-old daughter has eczema. Flaky patches used to appear only on the crooks of her arms and behind the knees.

But since early last year, she has been getting flaky patches all around her neck and on her eyelids. They are often itchy.

Our family doctor prescribed Dermasone which does not seem to work for her. She showers with Cetaphil and applies moisturisers.

What else can she do to treat the eczema and alleviate the itch and discomfort?
