Description
Eczema is a common inflammatory skin condition that causes dry itchy patches, rashes, blisters, infections, and convulsions. It appears as multiple sudden attacks that put the patient in a need of immediate remedy. Eczema creams must be applied with sanitized hands which is often not granted. Phototherapy, a sequential clinical therapy using UVB lights to reconstruct and calm skin, is another solution that’s quite expensive, time-limited, and rather unattended in third-world countries. The attacks must be controlled in time so the patient doesn’t need pills or Corticosteroids to avoid potential heart attacks. But it’s in the middle of the night, there is no pre-arranged phototherapy session and the cream application is hard. What should the patient do? The idealistic approach is to prevent the need for injection. To support the notion of limitless accessibility, the remedies should be affordable and receivable instantly and quickly. triggering surfaces that lead to severe infection, like unsanitized hands while applying creams, ought to be omitted as well. Eczit is compatible to the patients' preferred cream tube with various diameters and shapes with the use of its diaphragm-shaped mechanism. While Eczit applies the cream without the interference of the hand, the metallic roller massages the skin for better absorption. Eczit redefines phototherapy from an expensive clinical therapy to an accessible, economical remedy that furthers phototherapy’s efficiency by its simultaneous application of creams. Eczit offers an unthreatened enjoyment of moments, anytime and anywhere for the patient. It is a device that brings remedies together for higher effectiveness. With its portable, effective, light, and innovative solution, Eczit aims to be the reason behind patients’ comfort of mind. It shows the way out of the patient's mental cage of constant inconvenience.
