Thanks to all for the replies ... This person is the most difficult case I've ever taken and have been trying to cure him for the past 2 years (The medicines that I have tried are not providing a cure ... so I decided to start afresh and this is one symptom that this person came to me with and is still persisting)
For this one, the prickly heat type of eczema aggravates after he has alcohol. Will give more on this person
