SkIN PROBLEMS

Some 28 million Americans struggle with rosacea, eczema, hives

and atopic dermatitis, and H pylori-the bacteria believed to cause

ulcers-has now been targeted as one potential symptom trigger.

Although no one's sure yet why, studies have shown wiping out H pylori

with antibiotics can bring about a cure for up to 78% of chronic hives

surrerors- and ease rosacea flareups for as many as 96% of women. Ask

for a referral to a gastroenterologist....

Found this a little bit ago and thought I would pass it on, since its

the first article I have ever seen written about hives...Not much, but

I was beginning to wonder if anybody even cared to write about it...
