Eczema Recipes

Eczema is a skin condition in which patches of skin become rough, bumpy and inflamed. Sometimes blisters that cause itching and bleeding occur. These can occur from a response to irritation (eczematous dermatitis) but often the cause isn’t apparent. Sometimes it is allergies, contact dermatitis, sometimes diet. These eczema recipes are not only easy but fun.

It is important to learn what a trigger is for eczema for each person. For some people it can be wheat, or dairy, or detergents.
