Individuals with eczema will be familiar with the frustrating, recurring situation: Intense itching that compels you to scratch or rub, which leads to the skin becoming darker, thicker, bloody or even pus-filled when infected – if it isn’t already looking red and flaky.
To alleviate the itch and skin’s inflamed appearance, it is not surprising that besides topical hydrocortisone or steroids, some have turned to alternative treatments or advice, especially if they haven’t had much success with conventional medicine.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in an address to the nation after the ceasefire, announced that "we have thwarted Iran's nuclear project".
"And if anyone in Iran tries to rebuild it, we will act with the same determination, with the same intensity, to foil any attempt," he said.

I believe we have delivered a significant hit to the nuclear programme, and I can also say that we have delayed it by several years," said Israeli military spokesman Effie Defrin.
Iran's foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei acknowledged to Al Jazeera that its "nuclear installations have been badly damaged, that's for sure".
But US media on Tuesday cited people familiar with a Defense Intelligence Agency report as saying the American strikes did not fully eliminate Iran's centrifuges or enriched uranium stockpiles.
The strikes sealed off entrances to some facilities without destroying underground buildings, according to the report.
Israel had said its bombing campaign, which began on Jun 13, was aimed at preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon, an ambition Tehran has consistently denied.
Its commandos had also operated inside Iran during the conflict, Israel's army chief publicly acknowledged for the first time on Wednesday.
"The forces operated in secret deep within enemy territory and created operational freedom of action for us," chief of staff Eyal Zamir said in a televised address.
Later on Wednesday, US Central Intelligence Agency Director John Ratcliffe said in a statement that the US air strikes had “severely damaged” Iran’s nuclear program, but he stopped short of declaring that the programme had been destroyed.
The agency confirmed a “body of credible evidence" that several key Iranian facilities were destroyed and would take years to rebuild, he said.
