Currently there is no "cure" for age-related eczema. Exclusion diagnosis/treatment is a pain-stakingly arduous task as anecdotal reports of diet, allergen, contact materials, and other various factors all have been shown to have a random improvement/no improvement outcome. Nummular eczema has been associated with C. albicans and other dermatophytic infestations, as well as dust, mites, and other microscopic particles. The endeavour on behalf of the afflicted is to reduce the intense and chronic itching/pruritis that often is the hallmark of eczema. Various applications of ointments, salves, creams, lotions, suspensions, emulsions, liquids, oils, minerals, clays, and any other preparations, have been met with a hit-or-miss approach. Just like the acne preparation market, those afflicted are willing to try anything that promises some relief or "cure". Most ethical healthcare professionals will try to find a method of "control" and try to achieve a level of maintenance.
