  This reference offers practical help and guidance to those who have eczema, and their families. It starts by giving a brief explanation of different eczemas and allied skin diseases such as psoriasis and dermatitis and goes on to describe the common form of eczema - atopic eczema. By drawing on the experiences of individuals, it reveals how they deal with their type of eczema and details the range of treatments available, both conventional and complementary. On a broader level, the book also looks at the particular difficulties faced by sufferers of different age groups and it addresses both the physical and psychological problems encountered by eczema patients at school, college, in the working environment and, of course, socially.
