This article totally threw me for a loop. According to the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, incidences of eczema has risen a whopping 40% in five years (I am assuming this is for the UK only). Wow. Can that be true? If so, then why isn't there more being done about it? Does this mean that there are just more and more people with this genetic mutation? I wonder what the numbers are for the US and for the rest of the world. I do remember reading somewhere that incidences were higher in industrialized countries (perhaps eczema is linked to the rise in all the crap we've been eating over the years, like trans fats, etc.)
