Kids with atopic dermatitis often referred to as eczema, may be more likely to have learning and memory difficulties, according to a US study, however, this link was primarily in kids with neurodevelopmental conditions such as ADHD. The study of almost 70 million kids in the US found that kids with ADHD or learning difficulties who also had eczema were 2-3 times more likely to have memory difficulties than those who had neurodevelopmental disorders but didn't have eczema. The researchers say it could be that poor sleep as a result of the eczema may be more likely to impact memory in children with ADHD or learning disability, than in children without neurodevelopmental conditions.
