What does eczema have to do with asthma?

My 19 month old son, has a rash and when we looked it up in one of the many children books we have. There was some kind of link between eczema and asthma. We went t othe doctors gfound out it is mild eczema, but forgot to ask about the asthma. Thank You for your help
Answer:
There is a link between asthma and eczema because both are allergic conditions. People who are allergic may have more than one allergic condition.
Not quite sure but I have both.
eczema is a skin condition..inflammation of the skin, and it causes itching.
asthma...is a chronic respiratory condition and causes difficulty with breathing.
My eldest daughter started suffering from asthma at the age of 12 months (she is now 29yrs chronic asthmatic) the specialist told me that eczema and asthma come from the same family. my youngest daughter suffers more so with rash skin and allergic to most foods, which effects her skin and moods. (she is now 24yrs). just protect your child from bites mosquito's, fleas and such. Good luck to you and your family.
allergies go hand in hand mate
