Does anyone here suffered from eczema or had children who suffer from it? I took my son to the doctor on Wednesday because he had a rash breakout on his arms, legs, face, back, and chest. He scratches a lot and he breaks out really bad. Its not chicken pox or anything like it because he has had vaccinations. Also, he does not have a fever or anything else that comes with the pox. What causes eczema? Cats are not the cause, right? I hope not. He is the only one of my children to have this. My daughter is fine. And I think its chronic. Thanks for your help.
