Scratching the Surface of Red Itchy Skin

Eczema and Psoriasis are common skin conditions that affect all ages.

Both conditions display common symptoms, such as

• dry, sensitive skin that may crack or bleed
• itching
• burning or soreness, and/or
• red, inflamed skin and rough leathery patches of skin covered with silvery scales.

Common causes can range from allergens, to food, or even stress.

Kathy B. suffered from eczema for approximately 15 years. Her red scaly hands were so bad she would not shake hands with anybody, and the itching was relentless. She spent years using prescription creams and over the counter medications to control and manage her symptoms with little to no success.

At the suggestion of her sister-in-law to try a more natural approach to cure her discomfort, Kathy scheduled a visit at the Holistic Center at Bristol Square.

A comprehensive holistic program was designed for Kathy. It included an elimination diet, whole food nutritional supplements, and weekly visits to the Center for treatment. Kathy’s skin is clearing nicely and her itching is virtually gone.

Her quality of life has been much improved and she is thrilled to be under the care of Dr. Michael Goldstein and Dr. Rochelle Bien at The Holistic Center at Bristol Square.
