I'm 24 and have had eczema since 3 months as well. It was pretty mild these past few years except since recently (since Sept 2006), it's gotten really unbearable. I'm allergic to peanuts, milk, and wheat. I've gotten myself tested for allergies already and have been avoiding the foods I'm allergic to, and since I'm not getting any better (sometimes even worse), I've concluded that it's not food that's making my eczema worse.
