DEAR DR. GOTT:
I have been bothered by eczema on my eyelid and eyebrow. It was so bad I thought I would harm my eyelid from the scratching. Then I read about the banana peel for psoriasis. I gave it a try since I eat a banana every day. It’s amazing. The flaking, itching, peeling and dryness have disappeared. Thank you!

DEAR READER:
Using banana peels to stop the itching of eczema is a new one on me. It is useful in treating some forms of psoriasis. I’m publishing your favorable experience in hopes it may benefit other readers.
