Question: My son has a rash on his lower back toward his buttocks. I assumed it was a little patch of eczema, but because it's round a friend told me that it might be ringworm. How can I tell the difference and should I be concerned? Answer: Generally ringworm is red and scaly on the edges with clear skin in the center. It is also usually itchy. However, there are variations on this presentation and it is best that you make an appointment to see a dermatologist... Ringworm is also very treatable!

Question: I’ve read that B12 cream can be very beneficial in helping eczema. Is there any truth to this? Answer: There are a variety of creams and approaches that can improve eczema. A vitamin B12 cream tested in a small study in Germany proved effective in reducing the extent and severity of eczema. Only 49 patients were treated. They each used the B12 cream on one side of the body and a placebo on the other. They did not t know which was which. The research team and patients concluded after eight weeks that the Vitamin B12 cream was "good" or "very good," at improving the symptoms, while the placebo was rated as "moderate" or "poor" in 87 percent to 89 percent of all cases. We have tried this approach on some patients, but have not been impressed with the results.
