Eczema cure in Malaysia?

As a retired medical doctor, I would like to be direct and upfront with the question above. There is no cure for eczema at the moment, however you could manage your’s and your baby’s eczema to a point where it becomes non-visible. 

If you still believe in some of the tooth-fairy folklore self-help ‘how I cure my eczema ebooks’, you will not find us recommending any of those stuff in this post. Most of these ‘alternative’ sites will start by agreeing that there is no medical cure for eczema andhow superficial your medical doctor and your dermatologist are. Then they will bring out their ‘cure all from inside out’ bla bla … Seriously, there is just too much of these non credible and non-proven stuff on the internet. So, decide wisely.

Just to substantiate the ‘no-cure’ claim –

“While there’s no cure for eczema, you can reduce flaky, dry skin by using products infused with hyaluronic acid…”

“There is no cure for eczema, but there are a few things you can do to lessen your risk and prevent flare-ups. ..”

Do take note that WebMd is one of the top healthcare sites in the world. Its’ ranked as the 2nd most popular site under the health category.

If you would like to check the site that is promoting the ‘ezcema cure all treatments’, try verifying their ‘Alexa ranking’ and compare it with WebMD.
