The dreaded itch-scratch cycle that afflicts millions of atopic eczema patients worldwide now has an effective and clinically proven skincare regimen that helps to stop the itch in its tracks.
Known as “the itch that rashes,” atopic eczema is a recurring condition that requires medical attention and proper skincare regime.
Undoubtedly, the worst thing about atopic eczema is the intense and incessant itch, which often leads to uncontrollable scratching, triggering the release of inflammatory mediators that cause redness and rashes.
