The author has divided this book into two parts for easy reference.
The first part explains what eczema is. There are many different types and each is explained in this section. There is also a description of the causes and a section explaining what treatments are available – both drug based and natural based. People with severe eczema find it can have a major effect on their everyday lives. That’s because it doesn’t only affect people physically but psychologically as well. It can badly dent people’s self-image and can sometimes have a disastrous effect on their self-confidence. Pre-school children with eczema are more likely to have psychological problems than children without the condition. They’re also likely to be more dependent on their parents.
In the second part, the author discusses psoriasis – what it is and the many different types. In fact psoriasis is one of the oldest known illnesses. It’s even mentioned in The Bible. The Greeks called it lepra and it used to be treated as a form of leprosy. In the mid 19th Century the disease got its name from the Greek word psora which means to itch.
Psoriasis is a life long recurring, chronic skin condition which can range from mild to severe and sometimes covers the whole body. It affects both men and women equally.
There is a discussion on the impact it has on quality of life in much the same way that other conditions like depression or heart disease does. Some people with this condition feel intense physical discomfort and sometimes disability. Pain and itching can affect walking and sleep. When it’s on the hands it can prevent participation in certain sports or doing certain jobs.
The section on available treatments discusses different drugs that are available as well as natural based remedies.
