Uagh, exzema!

Do you suffer from eczema?

I only get them from spider bites. It's why I avoid them.

If eczema occurs in almost every citizen, how come there is still no drug developed that cures mankind of it?

Eczema appears to be a very common symptom for all sorts of physical, mental, food or contact deficiencies. After all, the skin is a very big place and covers almost the entire body. No component of the body is further away from the skin than perhaps an inch.

It's kind of a great indicator for something being out of alignment. A bit like pain, just less painful and instead more itchy. Treating this symptom away would be like taking painkillers. Maybe it's a good thing big pharma has other fish to sell.

I wouldn't wonder if there was some ancient system of classifying eczema and connecting the different forms and locations to certain illnesses, like there is for other physiological phenomena. Don't the Chinese even have some poop analysis thing? If poop is worth a diagnostic look, then eczema should be as well...
