A member asked:
My 14 years old daughter suffers from atopic ezcema badly. scaling , itchy. how many ml of evenign primrose capsules could she have?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Read the label: Unfortunately, evening primrose is not regulated by the fda and so dosage may vary from one manufacturer to another, thus read the label for recommendation. Studies have some modest benefit in treating eczema and inflammation. Since her condition is severe, i suggest getting her to see doc, maybe dermatologist/allergist for a thorough evaluation and treatment. Good luck to you and your daughter.
