Question:
My son was just diagnosed with atopic dermatitis. Can this be caused by stress? Our family has gone through quite a bit of stress in the past few months that I feel has really impacted my son and his condition seems to coincide with this.
Answer:
Atopic dermatitis (eczema) is not caused by stress, but like many rashes is worsened with stress. Although removing stress will not totally clear the eczema, a lessening of the stressful situation will make a big change.
