      No there is currently no cure for eczema. The current treatment still revolves around steroids. In Dundee we have a special unit dedicated to studying skin diseases including eczema so perhaps in a decade or so we will have something. I suffer myself, so I really hope they do!

      Unfortunately there isn’t a cure – just treatements to try and minimise symptoms. Steroidal treatements have the most success. But like David said – research is going into this so maybe one day they’ll develop a cure!
