==Benefits and uses of Petroleum are==
* Eczema and Psoriasis: This is not your typical dry skin, but rather an actual health condition. The skin is not only dry, but almost leather-like and cracking. These symptoms cause excessive itching and bleeding. This can make the infected area have a burning sensation, and as to be expected, provide a great deal of discomfort as it heals. Though petroleum may work as a homeopathic remedy for any of these symptoms, it is most effective if the excessive dry skin is due to exposure to chemicals or manual and rigorous labor.
