Preventing Eczema and Growing Up with Food Allergies
If food is found to be the trigger of your baby's eczema, she may outgrow the allergy by the time she is a toddler. However, some food allergens - like peanuts, tree nuts and shellfish - may last a lifetime.
So be sure to monitor your baby closely when introducing new foods and discuss any issues that may arise with her pediatrician.
Environmental allergies tend to last longer, but many people outgrow them by the time they are teenagers. However, like food allergies, environmental allergens may also last a lifetime.
Also, babies with eczema are more likely to develop dry skin and rashes later in life.
