I am a person who has lived with eczema my entire life. I am one of the lucky ones; my eczema has gotten less severe as I have gotten older, but I still have my good and really bad days. My entire life has been a lesson in trial and error. I have learned much, mostly through error, and I thought that I could pass on my knowledge and experience to you. Not everything works the same for everyone, but there are general things that you can do to help lessen the pain of eczema with a little understanding, education and forethought. I want to try to help others like myself. I am hoping that you can learn from my mistakes in this area. I say hope for the best, plan for the worst. Learn to live with your eczema and you will live a much happier life. —D. Villotta
