My daughter's eczema flairs up in hot weather and although she loves the beach, the sand and salt water can irritate her skin. Any suggestions for overcoming this?

Can you grow out of eczema? Is natural sunlight good or bad for eczema? Do expensive products basically contain the same ingredients as generic plain packaged products? Is it best to bathe more or less when you have a flare up? In general is eczema best treated by changing diet or topical cream?
