Hey ihopethishelps good to hear from you! Hope life is a little better.. I also agree about the exzma theory.. how we all got it. I.e trauma, allergy, climate, stress,i also notice most of us suffered from chapped lips in the following months to the break out exzma normally breaks out on dry rrs of the body.. also most treatments that help exzma also help ec,, keeping moist, good diets, less trauma, steroids and imuran,, we also have all the classic symptoms of exzma inflammation shedding of skin dry skin secondary infections etc etc most guys disagree but I'm strongly think its a great possibility.. my bets when the cure of exzma comes it will work for ec also.. all of course in my personal opinion! Peace
