Can a child with a disease or condition related to sensitive skin outgrow it?
• Answer: A child with sensitive skin due to eczema has a 90% chance of outgrowing it before age 5 and a 40% to 50% chance of outgrowing it by adolescence. It’s estimated that some 80% of people aged 11-30 have outbreaks of acne; for most of them, acne typically goes away sometime in their 30s. Psoriasis is considered a chronic (lifelong) disease.
