Pharmacist Ben Fuchs: Eczema – Finding The Cause

Pharmacist Ben Fuchs explains that "a topical-dermatitis" is a scientific term for Eczema, meaning a non-topical condition. In other words, it is not a condition that originates on the surface of the skin. Yet, most treatments for Eczema are topical, like steroid creams. In fact, if you went to a doctor 50 years ago, you'd probably be given the same or similar steroid cream to those given today, showing the failure of our current medical model to address the causes of the disease rather then the symptoms.
