Eczema is not just an ordinary skin problem. Also known as atopic dermatitis, its cause is not exactly known. Though not contagious, it is believed to be at least partially inherited and recurring. I’ve seen the dilemma of two of my husband’s cousins afflicted with the disease. They both have nice and flawless skin until such time they had this skin problem. Their underlying question is what is the best eczema treatment? Probably the next thing I can do is refer eczema.com and let them find out for themselves.
