This book will present completely new unique findings in eczema: sweat ducts that become
occluded with staphylococcal biofilms trigger the innate immune system with TLR2 receptor
activity and this leads to production of the itching and inflammation in this disease.
Dermatologists and pediatricians treat eczema exceedingly well and this is ordinarily
accomplished with corticosteroid containing topicals. However after treatment it is
intriguing that aggressive moisturization and cautious bathing will in most instances prevent
future flares of the disease even though it is precipitated by bacteria and their biofilms.
Diseases where eczema has been found with a completely unrelated disorder have shown occluded
sweat ducts on histopathologic examination. These include Meyerson's nevus which has a nevus
and eczema in the same biopsy and Doucas Kapetanakis-type of pigmented purpuric dermatosis that
shows occluded sweat ducts along with the capillaritis.
