Gluten is almost always associated with the condition. Even evidence that removing oats, which doesn't have gluten, also promotes healing. So elimination diet time. Also celiacs are told to avoid corn.

Glyphosate
Growing evidence that it is Glyphosate, the herbicide used in wheat crops, not actually gluten.
Cod liver oil is the best remedy for nearly all skin conditions—especially eczema. Cod liver oil contains three powerful nutrients:
-
Omega-3 fatty acids (DHA and EPA)
-
Vitamin A
-
Vitamin D
One common symptom of low vitamin A is follicular hyperkeratosis. This is a condition where you have small brown or red hair follicles on your arms and/or back. Another symptom of low vitamin A is xerosis. This is when you have dried-out skin with fine wrinkles or a scaly appearance.
Vitamin A has a lot to do with the integrity of your skin—so it’s vital that you get plenty of it for your skin health.
Vitamin D is also vital for your skin health—especially psoriasis. Psoriasis is an autoimmune condition. Vitamin D is fantastic for all autoimmune problems. Vitamin D acts as a powerful anti-inflammatory—it’s like cortisol, but without the side effects.
Low levels of Omega-3 essential fatty acids can cause eczema. It’s important to increase your Omega-3 and lower your Omega-6.
Cod liver oil is rich in all of these important nutrients for your skin.
Many people on keto consume a lot of coconut oil and butter, which is great. However, these do not contain the Omega-3 you need. You need to consume sardines, salmon, or cod liver oil to get your Omega-3.
