Rid yourself of eczema forever! Based on new research, this book has everything the millions of eczema sufferers need to know to free themselves from unbearable itching and unsightly rashes.
Eczema-Free For Life contains the latest medical information about the cause, symptoms, and treatments of eczema and is written both for adults with eczema and the parents of children with eczema. In addition to the most recent medical research, Dr. Nasir offers guidance for home care and ways to cope with the psychological impact of the disorder. None of the popular books about eczema currently on the market is written by a practicing dermatologist and none is based on up-to-date science. New research has conclusively demonstrated that eczema is the result of the abnormal development of some twenty genes responsible for controlling how the skin interacts with the environment. When the skin's barrier function fails, irritants pass through to underlying tissue and trigger the itchy rash that characterizes eczema. Dr. Nasir will explain new and more powerful treatments that are being developed based on these new discoveries as well as point out reliable holistic remedies that have worked for centuries.

Eczema- Free For Life- NOT!:
This book is informative, but the title is not accurate. Inside this book the authors explain how an eczema sufferer can try to minimize eczema flare ups, which is important, yet they do not have the information to make someone free of eczema for life.

I suffered from mild to severe eczema off and on for most of my life. Just recent I discovered that by cutting out wheat and any foods with gluten my eczema has been under... more info
Good book on Eczeme:
While this was a good book and it did provide some informative information on Eczema. I feel the author spent more time describing the history and "technicalities" behind eczema rather than how to "Live Eczema Free" as the title states. (Which is mis-leading btw). Alot of the information I already knew but some things I didnt which were helpful
be cautious when buying this book:
I've had eczema since I was born. At times in my life it has become severe and others it has been calmer, but reguardless always there. There really is no "eczema free", so I wish the title was not so misleading. Anyone who has had eczema for many years knows that it is and will always be a problem for them. Worring about what fabrics your wearing, making sure that everything you use is fragrance free for sensitive skin, not being able to truly ever enjoy a shower or bath or swimming, yes and worring about... more info
