The Eczema Solution

by Sue Armstrong-Jones

Based on a programme developed by a leading team of dermatologists and psychologists at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, The Eczema Solution is the essential book for eczema sufferers. Each chapter represents an 'appointment' and takes you through the stages of first learning about eczema, then controlling it and finally curing it for good. The key to the programme is to stop scratching. Research at the Chelsea and Westminster has shown that no amount of emollient cream or steroids will work if scratching continues. This is much easier said than done which is why The Eczema Solution provides foolproof techniques to break, and then replace, the scratching habit. The Eczema Solution offers a unique approach to tackling eczema -Awareness of when and how you scratch
-Using treatments effectively and for as little time as possible
-Boosting your emotional well being by being in control of your eczema With a troubleshooting and question and answer section to deal with common problems, The Eczema Solution is your route to a life without eczema.

I am an eczema sufferer, and this book is my savior. About 12 years ago, I was dealing with a head-to-toe outbreak of eczema, my 5th in about as many years. Desperate to find a cure, I was trying anything and everything. One of the eczema chat rooms I frequented at the time recommended this book. I ordered it from the UK. It changed everything. Using the 6-week program that teaches you to stop scratching, I cleared up my full-body eczema and have kept it at bay for over a decade. I recently re-read this to help with a stubborn case of hand eczema that has popped up over the last few years, with impressive results yet again. I recommend this book for anyone who suffers from eczema. The program has worked for me twice now, and it's worth a try!
