I’ve been reading up on it a bit, because I have really annoying, itchy eczema, and everything says it can be caused by allergies to food, medicine, fabrics, or soaps. No mention of animals at all…
I assumed my eczema was due to my ferrets. Could I be wrong??
Thanks!!

What season seems to produce the least amount of breakouts on your skin? Also, I’ve noticed that whenever I get in chlorinated water my eczema seems to almost disappear, has anyone else ever experienced this?
What treatments have you used, and what have you seen to be the best treatment/medicine for this skin rash?
Also, what causes eczema?

My 6 yr old son has been suffering from moderate to severe eczema since he was two. We have tried every known medicine and even allergy shots. Today we had a visit to Duke Med Center and they had nothing new to offer us. I would like to try some alternatives to traditional/western medicine. If anyone has any suggestions (books, websites, ect), advice or similar experinces, I would love to hear.
Thanks.
thanks for all the answers. we are exploring food allergies, using some new natural products and trying to live a healthy and as minimally as possible. i will put it to vote.
