Eczema Treatment Care

Question by freedom ain’t always free: Why do 70% of children grow out of eczema by their teens?
When I was little I had this itchy rash on both of the folds of my arms (behind my elbows). Then when I was eleven or twelve, the rash got really bad. It spread to my back (which stung after every shower), up both of my arms, and I had these weird crusty things on my legs.

Then, thank God, it disappeared. The scars eventually faded and now I never get rashes (except when I wear fake jewelry for too long).

I want to know why? What change in my body changed my skin? Did it get tougher as I grew up? And what stops kids from growing out of this horrid disease?

“Mild eczema affects one in five schoolchildren, making their skin feel dry and itchy. It is thought to be genetic and 70 of children grow out of it by their teens. But severe cases such as Laura’s are often accompanied by allergies, which trigger the skin reactions.”

I’ve had eczema for a while, and I had some on my head, not realizing how bad it was, my hair stopped growing there, and it hasnt been growing in that spot since. Is there a chance that it will grow back? Ive had missing hair there for atleast a few months, and another spot for 1 month. Is there anything I can use to make it grow back?

I had a bad case of contact dermatitis on my face. It kept flaking off for months. Eventually it made a hard crust with scaling and I lost more skin when that came off in December. The new skin underneath is pink and it’s deeper than the normal skin so my cheeks have a rough, scaly appearance. The pink areas continue to expand, which I guess means the old skin is still coming off? The pattern of redness/pinkness changes daily. The new skin is still pink after 45+ days. Will it take months for my face to heal? Can my face still heal after it has been through so much?
