Sorry... it's not curable, but it is sometimes treatable... it's something that maybe stem cell research and genetics might cure one day.

I have it bad in summer and winter it's horrible :( I feel so bad for the babies ! They say babies with it will also develop allergies .

Both of my children get this. My daughter has, thankfully, outgrown hers. She would get these round, almost ringworm looking spots on her upper arms, back, and thighs. I took her to the pediatrician and it turns out it was just eczema! It started as a result of feeding her rice cereal. We were able to control it with lotion and creams. If she got bitten by a mosquito though (which happened a lot since we live in Florida) she would break out all over again.

I got bit by this weird mosquito like 2 years ago on my right forarm. A rash showed up and then went away, but from time to time it'll show back up! I wasn't sure what it was and couldn't find any pictures on the net that looked like the rash. It looks like "goose bumps" but red and itchy. It always comes back at the same spot on my forarm and it won't go away. Maybe it's Eczema?

I have excema and it can drive a person insane with the itching. Usually it breaks out with the season change. Poor babies!

my middle daughter has severe eczema. When she first showed symptoms her "patches" looked like cigarette burns, it was horrible. Now it varies in intensity and she gets it from her scalp to her thighs. To send her anywhere I have to pack her 6million meds. to take with her, alot to deal with as a 4 year old

Apparently I had it really bad when I was a baby. Mom always took good care of me though. May she rest in peace
