Atopic dermatitis: You may or may not grow out of your condition. It depends on external conditions.

May not outgrow: 40 to 60% of children with atopic dermatitis outgrow at or shortly after puberty.

Possible but ...: In my experience, there is a 50% chance that your atopic dermatitis will improve or subside by using moisturizer immediately after bathing and avoidance of allergens. Allergy shots may also lead to remission in atopic dermatitis for some.
