What is eczema?
Eczema is a skin disease that can be related to allergies. The rash is
generally scaly, itchy and red. Patients with eczema usually have dry
skin. Eczema may be treated with various creams and ointments and oral
medications that are prescribed by either your family doctor or an
allergy specialist such as us. Approximately 40% of children with
eczema may be positive on skin testing for food. If your child is
allergic to foods on skin testing, avoidance of these foods may improve
your eczema. This technique of eliminating allergenic foods is
particularly important in children.
