There are many types of eczema, which can vary in severity but often display symptoms of red, inflamed and dry skin. It is suggested that the majority of eczema is caused by an irritant or allergy, with women over the age of 30 being most affected.
Psoriasis can be brought on by a number of factors including stress and like other scaly skin problems, can be helped by a topical application of a cream rich in beta carotene such as Essential Care's Organic Calendula Balm.
