I can say from personal experience, eczema is a superficial condition but it cuts deep. Physically, it can be torture. Emotionally, no different.
When eczema is acute it’s relatively easy to deal with. Slather some lotion and you’re good to go. When it’s chronic we can go down the rabbit hole of contact allergies, food sensitivities and stress. What a lot of people don’t know is that even chronic eczema can sometimes be easy to deal with.

PRP, also known platelet-rich plasma therapy, the vampire facial, the blood facial or prp hair restoration is a treatment that uses your own blood to recharge your skin and hair. Your blood is drawn by standard blood draw, then put into a centrifuge where it is spun to separate the red blood cells from the plasma. The plasma, rich in growth factors that stimulate natural tissue healing, is then applied after a microneedling session or injected across the scalp at the level of the hair follicles. Historically, PRP has been used in orthopedic medicine, dentistry and reconstructive surgery to help speed up wound healing and recovery. Now, it’s one of the most popular treatments in aesthetic medicine to help damaged, aging skin grow new collagen and elastin for beautiful, youthful skin texture. PRP is one of the most sought after treatment options for hair loss and alopecia as it increases hair count, hair thickness, and the growth phase of the hair cycle.
