Im 19 years of age. I wasn\'t born with excema I started to get it when I was 13. The docters had me using everything even sump oil and tar. Nothing seemed to work. I was going to make my deb and wanted to wear a backless dress although my excema restricted me, until a lady suggested using evening primrose oil. I take 6 tablets a day now rather than putting the oil on, and I swear by it. No more side affects from prescription creams!
