Many thousands of people in Austria suffer from neurodermatitis. German-born Gerd Buschmann is one of them. After a life plagued by neurodermatitis, the 69-year-old has finally found lasting relief. In an interview with the "Krone" newspaper, he explains how.

It started just eight weeks after his birth in 1955: Back then, the condition that is now known as neurodermatitis was still called "endogenous eczema". "I was regularly hospitalized for several weeks throughout my childhood. They tried everything," explains Gerd Buschmann. "When I was eight years old, I had my blood washed at the Charité hospital in Berlin, I saw doctors from Bavaria to Zwickau, but it was all in vain," says the 69-year-old.
