      I’m not working specifically on eczema so I’ll not be looking for a cure for it, but hopefully my work will find out what causes the dryness and help cure that.

      I don’t work on eczema either. However If you have eczema, it is important to take good care of your skin. Take warm (not hot!) baths on a regular basis and immediately applying moisturizers afterward will help keep your skin moist. If it is really bad the Dr. can give you a cream to help (according to my friend with eczema) but it wont cure it sorry.

      It it isn’t impossible however that someone will work out how to cure it or prevent it happening permanently.

      I think one day they will yes!

      We are curing so many diseases at the moment!

      I’m sure a scientist out there is working on it 😛
