I'd like to ad a note that may be useful to those looking for other
remedies.
Linoleic acid is an important constituant of Evening primrose oil. This is
an essential fatty acid for the human organism. That is it cannot be
manufactured in the haman body but is needed for good health. Linoleic
acid is a precursor to Prostiglandin synthesis. ie you can't make
prostaglandin without it.
My point being look for thise things that contain this fatty acid.
Sunflower seeds or oil, emu oil, flax seed, or linseed oil. I am sure
there are other things out there that naturally contain this. At least now
you have a clue as to what essential item you are looking for.
