I teach piano. I've been looking at people's hands for 12 hours a week for over a decade. All ages. I've never seen so many kids with eczema in my life. It's exploded in the past year. I'm not sure I ever saw a case of it before, except one high functioning but extremely autistic boy who always had trouble in the winter like it is now. Right now probably half of the kids I see have it. Just an observation I had that I thought RPF would appreciate.
