    Similarly have seen sunbread suggestions as one way to try to treat eczema. Given a lot of eczema is caused by allergies to stuff in the air outside, just going outside can make it worse.

    Edit: “sunbread suggestions” should be 'sunbed suggested". Sunbread probably won’t do anything for eczema.

      Years ago (maybe 20!) a boy I was at college with had sunbed treatments for acne. It did help but I don’t think they do that anymore. It’s roaccutane now but that has horrible side effects of its own.
