The multifaceted approach to assessing and treating eczema with Rebecca Hughes
Description
Eczema can be an extremely debilitating condition with often little to no long term solutions available (until you delve into the world of Naturopathy and exactly what's going on). Conventionally, often the solution is topical steroids, but those who have been there before know the long term side effects and that it doesn't address the underlying cause.
