Nowadays many efforts are being done do discover eczema treatments or to cure other skin conditions, because the number of people that suffer from skin problems, like eczema is getting bigger by the second.

Some scientists have also discovered the gene which is responsible for dry skin, which immediately leads to an eczema. The same gene that leads to eczema is also responsible for asthma. This particular gene produces a protein called fillagrin, which helps the skin like a barrier. without it, your skin gets very dry and eczema develops. The people who are responsible for this discovery, that may lead to finding a better eczema cure, hope to do just that, instead of only treating the eczema symptoms.

One thing is for sure, thought, a new, better eczema treatment will be found.

More studies have shown that almost ten percent of all people that live in Europe have a genetical mutation that turns off the protein that helps us in not developing an eczema.
