Eczema
Who has it?
It is estimated that 15 million people in the United States have some form of eczema. Eczema often begins in infancy and childhood but it can occur at any age. Somewhere between 10 to 20 percent of all infants have eczema. About 50% of people who develop eczema as a child will have it for life, but eczema usually becomes less severe with age. Nearly 5 out of 1000 adults experience eczema in their lifetime. Stasis eczema is more common among individuals who are 50 years of age and older.
