I have what I think is eczema on my hands. It keeps flaring up and is sometimes okay, however right now there are oozing small white bumps and lots of cracked skin and redness. I was wondering if this could be anything to do with my diet? I m considering a water fast for 7 days to flush out my system and see if there are any changes. I also know of a product that clears it pretty well however I ve ran out at the moment. My questions are: are there any at home treatments I could use? Does exposure to the sun help? Does my diet affect my eczema? Thank you.
