Try This Steroid Free Eczema Treatment

I have struggled with eczema for years. I'm lucky. I only get it behind and in my ears. I know people who have it all over their bodies. Children are especially vulnerable as it's harder for them to follow treatment protocol and avoid scratching.

I wear a CPAP breathing mask and have long, thick hair. Moisture form along the hairline around my ears.   Got Eczema? Try This Steroid Free Treatment

Avoid Egg Substitutes if You Have Albumen Intolerance, Egg Allergy

I always used to get stomach cramps after eating a big farm-style breakfast (eggs, meat, pancakes, etc.). Then in 1983, I connected it to an egg intolerance. I don't call it a full-blown albumei allergy. I don't get the hives or anaphylaxis symptoms. Just raging a stomachache that no pain reliever will touch. It has to work it's way out and that can take hours. Warning Avoid Egg Substitutes if You Have an Albumen Intolerance, Egg Allergy
