How to treat eczema and detoxify?

In fact, it is not very difficult to treat a disease like eczema.

Eczema is a skin inflammatory reaction with severe itching caused by a variety of internal and external factors. It is divided into three stages: acute, subacute and chronic. The acute phase has an exudative tendency, while the chronic phase has infiltration and hypertrophy. Some patients directly present with chronic eczema. The skin lesions are characterized by polymorphism, symmetry, itching and easy recurrence.
