Yes: It depends on the cause, if it is due to reaction to an environmental agent, prevention of exposure would be curative. If the cause is not clear, please consult a dermatologist. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

No: We manage it until it goes away by itself, which it usually does. Common atopic eczema usually remits in the teenage years. An elimination diet may work. "Eczema" is a generic term for acute inflammation of the epidermis not caused by infection, and if a cause can be found -- even something as simple as your laundry soap -- this can be eliminated.
