Richard, I have had serious eczema on my hands for years.  They cracked and
were terribly painful, and the only help I got was from a strong steroid
cream and a lot of bandaids, especially where my thumb meets my hand.  I
could not grip well at all.  I have been on flaxseed oil for a couple of
years, but last summer I switched to salmon oil and after about a month,my
hands started clearing up and healing.  They remain free of any sign of the
exzema. I feel that the salmon oil is a miracle drug for me.
