A member asked:
Over the last two years i have had eczema. prior to this, never had it before. it is extremely bad all of a sudden. any thoughts?

It can start at any: age. Stress can make breakouts worse, as well as exposures to trigger factors or aggravating factors. See your dermatologist or allergist to determine your trigger factors, or start keeping a diary. We know barrier breakdown is an issue so lotions and barrier repair (like OTC Cerave) will help. But you may need prescription meds if severe.
