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.”

Question by FLO: Has anyone ever had to use Hyrdocortisone 2.5% cream on their infant for a rash, eczema, etc?
My son is 8 months old and has a couple eczema patches on his arm and leg. The doctor prescribed hydrocortisone 2.5% cream (which is stronger than what you can buy at the store), I need to know if anyone has used this on a baby this young and if so, did it work? any reaction to the cream? side affects?

It is prescribed only for extreme cases but yes it does help. My son was about 9 months old when his got so bad that the Dr prescribed it. You have to watch for side-effects though as with everything there are complications that can occur with over use which is why it is prescribed for severe cases not just minor cases.
