not noticable but using products from a Wellness company called Melaleuca.
Anyway a

is very very common in eczema. I thought that was why
you guys were using the tea tree oil. Doctors have known about staph and
eczema for a long time. Although they don’t always tell you what it is.

Staph is all over the body normally and goes crazy with eczema I guess. It

I just wanted to share with everyone that recently I found tartar control
toothpaste to contribute to the dry, flakey, and sometimes cracked skin on my
face. Once I switched to a less abrasive kind, the cracks in the corners of my
mouth healed. I also discovered that even though I may be saving time by
brushing my teeth in the shower, it was what was causing my lips and chin to
become so dry. In the shower I tend to be a lot messier when brushing my teeth,
allowing the toothpaste to get all over my face and run down my chin. Tartar
control toothpaste is too abrasive and would irritate my skin and dry it out
further.

Hope someone finds this to be helpful!

had seen a dermatologist. She nodded, but then explained that except for
keeping her on cortisone, her doctors were ready to give up. In spite of
this poor prognosis, she hoped that askin salve might help. She chose
one that contained comfrey and calendula.

A month passed and I forgot about Laura, until I received an order for
more salve and some traditional herbs used as a tea for the liver, such
as burdock, yellow dock, sarsaparilla and dandelion. Then, one day in
the fall, I was at a laundromat sorting clothes when a slender woman
