The most common type of eczema is atopic dermatitis. It is most common in babies and children but adults can have it too. As children who have atopic dermatitis grow older, this problem may get better or go away. But sometimes the skin may stay dry and get irritated easily.
The skin is almost always tender, itchy and rough. While it may appear just about anywhere on a baby's body, eczema most often occurs on a baby's cheeks, forehead and scalp, and at the joints of their arms and legs.Infant eczema can be easily confused with cradle cap, another red, scaly rash of infancy.ortunately, most children outgrow the itchy irritation of eczema before school age. A small number of children will have eczema into adulthood. Remissions do occur and can last for years, although the tendency to have dry skin often lingers.
