I found it. Banana peels. **shrug** I have NO idea if it works but it intrigued me. It was Dr. Gott's column.
Dear Dr. Gott: I have been bothered by eczema on my eyelid and eyebrow.
It was so bad I thought I would harm my eyelid from the scratching. Then I read about the banana peel for psoriasis. I gave it a try, because I eat a banana every day. It's amazing. The flaking, itching, peeling and dryness have disappeared. Thank you!
Dear Reader: Using banana peels to stop the itching of eczema is a new one on me. It is useful in treating some forms of psoriasis. I'm publishing your favorable experience in hopes it will benefit other readers.
If you buy bananas anyway, I guess you have nothing to lose and, it nothing else, it will make for a funny story when your kid grows up and starts telling about crazy things your family did when he was young. If you try it, let us know
