Disclaimer: I am not a doctor, and I do not have eczema. The only medical advice I give is that everyone should get medical advice.

Having said that, time to time I get a skin condition of various types. You need to carefully analyse it. Only patient can do this self debugging.

Some pointers:

Check his blood glucose right at the onset of his flare-up.

Take an antiworm medicine and see.

Take a broad-spectrum antiviral and check.

Take an antiprotozoal( anti-amoeba) pill and check.

Add neem oil to the bath water and check. Better yet, take neem oil capsules and try.

Now..

He might be having a cytokine storm of sorts.. so take an immunosuppressant and check. How do you get the doc to prescribe this - don't know. Tell him it is for science.

There are some good herbs-

Aloevera Tinosporia Cordifolia Acalypha indica Datura Caltropis

The last two or quite toxic. Even herbals must be taken under a qualified doctor.

You know sometimes it is just water. Check it. Also wash the shadows :-) the shadows habor bad stuff and it spreads.

Finally Borax. Use a cup of this in bath..

Now some science. Consume any plant that has protease or protinease inhibitors. These plants are basically biotoxic. They protect themselves from pests using pi. If we eat them we can become cytotoxic. It will protect us from bad guys too as long as it does not spiral into a cytotoxic storm.

Good luck..

Remember: I am not a doc. Not even a quack. I hack for a living.

I just remembered something. There is a drug called ivermectin. In my opinion it is a wonder drug. Recently heard it stops corona in its tracks.

There is a back story. Back in the day, I was living next to a guy who had horses and got bitten by a horsefly. Nasty as nasty sounds. I was also afraid if it had laid eggs under my skin. Then one night I had cold sweat!

Thought, this is it. I mean, this can only be that! Did some research furiously about the whole horsefly thing. Then I found, the horses are given something called ivermectin orally to protect from these guys.

So got hold of horse ivermectin (apple flavour) on Amazon and ate the tube for a week. Yeah..

It took out various other stuff of minor glitches and itches from my body.

I follow this ever since.

They are trialling this for eczema, atopic dermatitis, scabies, you name it.. they got you covered.

Just wanted to share the story, that's all.

Thanks for the comprehensive reply! I also think that "self experimentation" (basically scientific studies with n=1) + comprehensive data collection could work. It does for science, after all. But as you said, we'll have to consult a doctor, as this experimentation could eff up the body more than it is now.
