Why do 70% of children grow out of eczema by their teens?

Alan — Thu, 13 Jan 2011 09:47:07 +0000

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?

Answer by momof3boys
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.

My son has eczema. Everyone has their ideas to help, but I trust my doctor. How do I get them to back off?

Alan — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 10:40:51 +0000

My son has had horrible eczema since he was two months old. He is going on 8 months now. I took him to a dermatologist a few months ago, and he suggested the “soak & smear” technique. This involves soaking him in a lukewarm bath with a small amount of bleach, and then immediately coating him with prescribed ointment and cream. I have done this, and it’s made a drastic improvement. However, my mother in law insists that I put oil, etc. on him when the doctor has advised against it. I’ve asked/told her not to use anything other than what has been prescribed and she continues to buy & apply oils, lotions, etc… Now, his skin is breaking out again and I don’t know what to do. My son is in her care while I’m at work. While I’m reluctant to put him in daycare, I’m concerned that she will never respect my wishes. Any ideas?

Can you develop an allergy to fleas, like their bites or anything, if you’ve never been allergic to the before?

Alan — Sun, 04 Apr 2010 23:03:35 +0000

I’ve been suffering from contact dermatitis for a few weeks now and the only thing I can think of that’s new in my diet, environment, etc. is a current flea problem. I also sprayed my furniture with Hartz upholstery spray for fleas and that’s about when it started.

How Long Do Allergic Rashes Take To Run Their Course? Irish Spring (blue) And Ivory Soap?

Alan — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 00:54:05 +0000

I believe I got an allergic reaction from soap.
(Irish Spring Moistureblast with hydro-beads)
I’ve never had a reaction like this before.
I know my mom is allergic to Ivory soap.
And I also read somewhere else on here of another guy
who also had allergies to those same 2 specific soaps.
Well, the rash started showing up Thursday.
Friday morning it became a lot more noticeable
(Rashed behind right Knee, lower back, right arm covered, all around neck,
lower face/chin, lips,Bottom of nose, up to left eye lid, and on my genitals…)
Friday night I couldn’t do anything.
Saturday was the worst of it ( Started taking benadryl, that morning)
It is atopic dermatitis/eczema.
it looks just like poison oak and started oozing pus…
Sunday was when the pain became unbearable
so I had to get to the store
I bought (Aloe vera gel, Anti-itch spray, epsom salt.)
So I took a bath in epsom salt, and after that applied Aloe Vera Gel, 3x over the day
and when the gel dried it started to ooz pus like crazy non stop.
So i had to take another epsom salt bath before going to bed.
Monday (today) – its still basically doing the same thing
I’m just dealing with it, limited to nothing. But I’m still able to cope with it
Was just wondering when is it going to stop pussing? and finally subside. Thank you
It was triggered by one of these things I recently started taking.
#1 Guess: Soap ( Irish Spring (blue), was on first bar ever out of new pack of 3)
#2 Guess: New Multivitamin (Source of life: men)
#3 Guess: Salmon (Never had problems with before)
#4 Guess: Cayenne Pepper (recently started using with cooking)
