Are some types of eczema more common at different ages?

The age of onset can be helpful in deciding what type(s) of eczema
a person has. Eczema in an infant is most commonly atopic
(although this may appear discoid in places and can be aggravated
by irritants) or seborrhoeic. In the child and teenager, atopic eczema
is most common, but there will be some instances of contact allergy,
for example to nickel. In adults of working age, irritant, contact
allergic, seborrhoeic, discoid and atopic eczema are all common
and can occur at many body sites; pompholyx and venous eczema
are recognisable by their locations. The elderly are prone to
asteatotic eczema, especially on the shins, in addition to the types
experienced by younger adults.
