i have gleaned the internet for some information and it SAYS that 73% of eczema sufferers make full recoveries when they take essential fatty acids that regulate/decrease inflammation. any eczema sufferers, or even better, ex-eczema sufferers out there that can attest to this? and what is the connection between zinc and fatty acids, since some articles suggest zinc as well? and how much should be taken, in what forms (eat more fish, or take the oil? does it matter?) i would really appreciate any feedback, especially from doctors and people with this condition!

I have seen many, many dermatologists, and no one can figure out what is wrong with me. Whenever I sweat, I get a rash under my “right” armpit, never my left. NEVER my left, just my right armpit. Sometimes I get a rash in other skinfolds, but normally it is isolated in my right armpit.
It all began about two years ago. One day rashes started breaking out between my legs, and before I knew it, I was in the hospital getting serious antihistamine treatment–during this first out-break, my armpits were completely covered, my neck was covered, the folds of my knees were covered, and my elbow folds were covered in rashes. The Doctor put me on prednisone and it zapped it, but ever since I have been battling this rash under my right armpit. And it gets to hurting sometimes.
But this is the catch: I am a very, very bad drinker. I used to drink up to a fifth (of liquor) a day, and now I drink 12 to 18 beer a day. A famous psoriasis specialist, who I contacted via email, said that drinking is my problem–I am 23 years old and she believes drinking is my problem. But my local dermatologists have sent biopsies that have come back distorted: one will say psoriasis, another will say spongyitis dermatitis, and another will say dermatititis.
Can anyone tell me what I have? What to do in response to it? The psoriasis specialist who said it is my alcoholism said for me to quit drinking and take lots of Zinc supplements. Is this maybe the solution?
If you plan to help me, I can email you and articulate further.
