I do not think that you should give up. Healing eczema takes a long time of cleansing, diet, etc.. I started almost 1.5 years ago and haven't healed yet, it is a slow progress, and needs patience. I had some harsh healing crisis during the cleansing periods (worsening of eczema during a cleanse).. but I know how to interpret a healing crisis.. I am healing eventually, and won't give up, neither should you. take care.
