Overview

Eczema

Eczema is a chronic inflammatory skin condition causing itching and dry skin.

Kidney Stones

Kidney stones are hard deposits of minerals and salts that form inside the kidneys. They can vary in size from tiny crystals to large stones and may cause severe pain when moving through the urinary tract. Common types include calcium stones, uric acid stones, struvite stones, and cystine stones. While some small stones pass naturally, larger stones may require medical treatment.
