FINALLY I stopped being stubborn and went and had a long talk with my mother and step father about how to heal the problem from its roots.

Each week I tried a different cream or lotion from my pharmacy or local body shop in search of a way to make these eczema patches go away so that I could feel comfortable at work. I trust their advice because neither of them drink, smoke, drink coffee (although I believe coffee has its benefits, like curing asthma attacks), or do any kind of pills or medications unless it is a matter of life and death. I had to find all of this out by years of trial and error.

The weather was very hot in the summer and extremely cold in the winter, so in the summer I was forced to wear tee shirts so that everyone could see the eczema, and in both seasons the itch was constantly reminding me that the patches were there.

The mistake I was making was that I was looking for an "easy pill" to make my dry skin go away.
