"A common problem of people that have allergies is eczema. Eczema is a skin condition where skin is extremely irritable and sensitive and breaks out in rashes. It itches and it's almost impossible not to scratch it, which can lead to infection. My youngest daughter, when she was first born, had eczema over a majority part of her body. The doctor informed me that this is sometimes a precursor to figuring out if a child will have allergies, and also asthma. It's almost like a triad. Many people that have eczema also have allergies and asthma. The three of them together usually go hand-in-hand. With eczema, it takes very special care to maintain eczema skin, and to make sure that there aren't any flare ups. With skin that has eczema, you have to be very careful about what touches the skin and what you put on the skin."
