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 location and appearance of eczema changes as children grow. In young babies, eczema is most prominent on the cheeks, forehead, and scalp. It may affect most of the body but usually spares the diaper area. At 6 to 12 months of age, it is often worst on the crawling surfaces, the elbows and knees.
