Eczema Recipes
Eczema is a skin condition in which patches of skin become rough, bumpy, and inflamed. Sometimes blisters that cause itching and bleeding occur. These can occur from a response to irritation (eczematous dermatitis) but often the cause isn’t apparent. Sometimes it is allergies, contact dermatitis, and sometimes diet. Herbs can be extremely beneficial in working with eczema. These eczema recipes are not only easy but fun.
Some signs of Eczema are:
Dry, sensitive skin
Inflamed skin that is red.
Very bad itching
Darker colored patches of skin
Rough, leathery, or scaly patches of skin
Oozing or crusting of the area.
Areas of swelling
It is important to learn what a trigger is for eczema for each person. For some people, it can be wheat, dairy, or detergents.
