I have always had "dry skin" but about a year ago I started to get red itchy spots on my legs, back and arms. I ended up going to a dermatologist and they said it was eczema. How can skin change so much? I still live in the same area that I have always lived (so no different water, air, sun, etc). I found it odd to have gotten eczema in my 30's.

Has this happened to you or anyone you know? Is it normal and will I too outgrow it like my daughter did when she was a child?
