I got chatting to a friend of mine at the bar the other day over a pint of beer or three. He started telling me how last year his life took a really bad turn for the worse. I was surprised, as he appeared entirely normal, and also seemed to not be affected by this health condition which he described as serious, and life altering. So I asked him what could possibly be affecting him in such a critical way. He explained that last year he was diagnosed with Exzema.
I didn’t know what it was, so I asked him to explain to me what it was. He said that basically it was the word that doctors would often use to lump a broad category of general, non diagnosed skin conditions together to allow them to sort of broadly treat the symptoms of it, without actually having to acknowledge the fact that they had no idea what the cause was. Sounds like, Exzema is harder to work out than it is for how to get rid of acne scars.
Apparently the condition of Exzema is very difficult to live with and makes my friend I was hanging out with at the pub quite self conscious and irritated, not to mention the pain it causes him.
He explained to me that there are a number of quite handy clothes lines which have been specially designed for people who have Exzema to help them to some what treat the symptoms. It is apparently very expensive to buy a piece of clothing from this range, but he says he has been able to afford a couple. He is currently unemployed so it is quite hard for him. He also needs to buy washing powder that can help his condition. As Exzema hasn’t been actually able to yet be diagnosed, it is very hard to actually know what is making a difference or not. It is purported that it is somehow related to allergies, but no one really knows.
