It touches today 20% of the French children against 3 to 5% 30 years ago. But, this illness in general benign disappears the most often of herself after some years of evolution. Some infants don't have any luck. Because their body presents the red plates, that entail strong itches in part and is covered of a thickened skin, very dry with squames or, on the contrary, oozing. They are victims of eczema. At quite the small, this cutaneous allergy rages more gladly to the level of the face, often to the level of the cheekbones. After 2 years, one meets it preferentially to the level of the folds of the elbows and knees, but some children endure lesions to the level of the hands, of the arms or on more extended bodily zones. They scrape themselves a lot, often until blood, perspire, and their daily life is altered some. This especially since the plates stretch, at these predisposed children, to reappear to the least stress. He is not therefore rare that some of these young patients offer to isolate themselves of the other children and that their parents adopt a protectionist behavior. A probability increased to be Very fortunately asthmatic for these small patients and their family, the child's eczema rarefies after 3-4 years. Don't persist indeed to the adult age that the sternest shapes of the illness. But eczema is, in general, observed at children possessing domestic antecedents of allergy. For this reason, the children eczémateux risks therefore thereafter, once their healed cutaneous lesions, to become more frequently than the other asthmatics, because this illness is it also of allergic origin. To adolescence, they will also develop more often than the other youngsters of the rhinites of allergic origin (hay fever.). To differentiate the eczema of contact Affection of the child to strong hereditary component, this eczema atopique (atopique means allergic) must not be confounded with the eczema of contact. This other shape of eczema is the more often seen at adults and appear by the apparition of an eruption on skin after the port of jewelry fantasy made of nickel, the use of hair oils or substances as formaldehyde. One recovers in the two illnesses a phenomenon of sensitization to a foreign agent (allergen) but the mechanisms put in play are not quite the same. The child's eczema is a real allergy, secondary to the excitement of the production of some antibodies, the E immunoglobulines, in answer to allergens of the food (milk, eggs, soy.) or contents in the atmosphere (pollens, microscopic animals as the acariens, dust). Some among them cross the skin, from where the attack of skin. The eczema of contact of the adult corresponds, him, rather to a local reaction developed after contacts repeated of skin with a sensitizing substance. The aspect of the sick skin is a little different: one notes the apparition to the level of the zone affected by multiples small bladders that contain a liquid and can break themselves.
