Studies have shown that children who are breast-fed are less likely to get eczema. This is also true when the nursing mother has avoided cow's milk in her diet. Other dietary restrictions may include eggs, fish, peanuts, and soy. Eczema tends to run in families. Control of stress, nervousness, anxiety, and depression can be beneficial in some cases. |
