I am very sorry to read of this terrible problem you suffer with, I have suffered with this since childhood, also the other terrible one that prevents us to breath normal. My child also has both these problems, I have over the years tried many many alternative ways to try and overcome the misery that this brings, but I must say that after reading all the different methods, the only thing that has worked for me was, yes, believe it, Sun!! no oils on my skin, only simple bath soap, no perfumes etc etc. I get terrible times with eczema, I have been given by the doctor a cream called Fucibet, I know this is beating all the other remedies and going to the Prescribed stuff, but to be honest, its the only thing that worked for me. Stress is a great cause of this problem too, I find that when I have this minor little problem (stress) that my dreaded skin complaint just comes alive, only now to be attacked with the wonderful cream. My skin is wonderful, even my face is now clear, my only problem now is how to solve the breathing. Take care.
