I stumbled upon this article one day. It was really interesting to me because my child suffers from both Eczema & ADHD. Eczema is a skin condition where the skin becomes itchy and breakouts with inflamed rashes. Children aoften become sleepless and irritable. Research suggest that children with Eczema are more likely to develop ADD / ADHD (Attention Deficit Disorder/ Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). For more info view this link http://www.webmd.com/content/article/62/71749.htm Were you aware of this? Was this info helpful? Please rate me if this info was helpful to you.

Are you serious? My daughter has eczema. She had it real bad when she was a bby but now it has got better. She uses a special cream now. When she was a baby, she had a lot of hair and it all fell out because of the Eczema but then her hair grew back. I have to do more research on this. Thanks for the information Ms. Lady!
