Guest guest Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 I'm curious, is exema seasonal? I remember when I was little the skin on my fingertips would get dry and peel off. It was not fun because the skin underneath was very sensitive. It happened every winter. I did grow out of it. Now this is happening with my 4 year old starting in the past couple of weeks. I didn't complain much about it when I was little, I doubt my mom even knew it happened. But he's picking at his fingers and just a bit ago picked it enough so the healthy skin was pulled off and it's bleeding. I'm thinking just a lotion will help, and have been putting it on his fingers but now I wonder if this is some form of exema? Or is it just that he is sensitive to the change in weather and it's just dry skin. Isn't it funny how some things get passed to your children and others don't? My oldest has my fingernails, they come apart in layers and my hangnails I used to get a lot as a kid. Merek has my peely finger tips. Darbi... well, she's a girl. lol... so far I don't know what I passed to her! Kori At 04:28 PM 12/21/2004, you wrote: >I have eczema on my hands and yes what a mess.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 It can be seasonal. Everyone has a different thing that makes the ezcema react or get worse. Even if, for example, the cold air caused the eczema to come about, if it is during the time when the rash is in “remission” it could hardly be noticed. It would just seem that the skin is slightly dry not all cracked and bleeding etc. If you put some crème on your son (Eucerin or Cetephil are the best over the counter stuff) and it goes away fast and for a long time then it’s probably just a sensitivity. But if it takes awhile and you have to keep putting the lotion on and on then it might be some eczema coming about. Boy are you right about passing these things on though. Each kid got his own thing..lol… got the Asthma and Christian got the eczema. It’s all in the genes!

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 Kori, I always seem to get eczema more in the winter. But when it peels, the skin underneath isn't really sensitive. If it was eczema I don't think your 4 yr. old would be so easy about it. Eczema itches enough to drive you off your rocker!!! Kids can also get it on their cheeks (both top & bottom!!!) Apparently we're related, because me & my 2 oldest kids have the same nails as you guys--peeling in layers & hangnails hehehe... , mommy of: Guinevere, on, Ava 8/4/04 right CF DBB 23/7 > > > > > > > > > > > > >Hello all!
