Wondering if anyone can direct me to a provider who is interested in this research in the area or has more information resources to share. I accidentally stumbled upon a few articles about a connection between the two and limited research showing improvement of childhood eczema with melatonin supplementation. Coincidentally my DD age 7, has been using melatonin for sleep issues for the last two years and her eczema has completely disappeared in that time.
I’d like to know more about the “why” science is seeing decreased melatonin production in children with eczema, or at all. What is the pot cause and are there other things we can be doing. My daughter has next to zero screen time and plenty of outdoor time/daylight and darkness over the years while we have tried to improve her sleep. |

| Severe childhood ezcema usually resolves or decreases at the child gets older, so your child could simply be outgrowing her eczema. |
