I have issues with eczema all year long. I am always trying to find solutions to help me relieve the dryness, itch and irritation!
About 35 million Americans: 1-3% of adults, and 10-20% of children have eczema. Seventy percent of cases start in children younger than 5 years old, and about 60% of infants who have eczema continue to have one or more symptoms in adulthood. My son had eczema really bad when he was a baby and still has issues every so often with it now.
