Itching for a solution: Why eczema treatments are expanding – as are costs

[SINGAPORE] A stray itch on the wrist, behind the thigh or on the cheek may seem mild at first, but it may reach a point where those with the condition cannot sleep due to the constant need to scratch their skin.

Tim See, who works in marketing and communications, says eczema affects his mood and concentration while going about his daily tasks.

He was officially diagnosed with the condition only in January last year, although he has had occasional skin troubles before. They usually flare up on his arms, upper body and thighs.
