A member asked:
Why is eczema mainly found in young children?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Good question: It is felt that this is a genetic condition realated to the early exposure of antigens in this population. As time passes and the body becomes more tolerant to the environment it tends to be mitigated in nearly 3/4 of involved patients.
