Eczema care: It's unsure how herbal tonic would change your metabolism but lots of factors can affect your eczema. However, keeping your skin moist and healthy with thick moisturizer, avoiding irritants like soap, alcohol, stress and applying anti-imflammatory medications like topical steroid cream or ointments have been shown to work well. If your skin does not better, you should see an allergist.
