Outbreaks.

Outbreaks.

What is the worst season of the year for your infant/child to get an outbreak?

Isaac will get a horrible outbreak during the summer; he was born close to the fall but it was still warm and hot here. His pores couldn�t breath and he was diagnosed with baby acne and eczema after the doctor looked at him. It was horrible; I was afraid to touch his face that�s how bad it was. I also have it bad during the summer; my pores just have a hard time breathing with all the humid weather and pollution.

I only say Spring b/c at the moment she is covered in eczema. Ask me this during Summer, I would say that too. Shoot-if I could pick all the seasons I would. She does go through spurts where her skin is clear, but never 100%. After many different Doctors, creams and meds-we still can't get it under control. Thankfully it's rarely on her face. Sometimes she will get dry patches, but not too bad.

I REALLY hope she will outgrow this one day. I don't have eczema and neither does DH. She's just an atopic child as the doctors like to say.

We're dealing with horrible eczema right now, so I voted Spring. I just finally got a referral to a dermatologist.

Isaac has his on cheeks and face really badly its a mixture. That's wonderful your're seeing a dermatologist i need to get on a waiting list for one myself.
