What risk is increased with children who have been diagnosed with infantile eczema?

A. Infantile eczema (atopic dermatitis) does not directly increase the risk of pneumonia. While severe eczema may predispose to skin infections, it does not inherently affect the respiratory system or susceptibility to bacterial pneumonia. B. Children with infantile eczema are at increased risk for developing asthma and other allergic conditions (e.g., allergic rhinitis, food allergies) later in childhood. This is part of the atopic march, a progression of allergic diseases that often begins with eczema in infancy and can lead to respiratory allergic conditions. C. Eczema does not typically cause increased sensitivity to sunlight. Photosensitivity is more commonly associated with certain medications, autoimmune conditions, or genetic disorders, not atopic dermatitis. D. Acne is not associated with infantile eczema. Acne usually appears in adolescence due to hormonal changes affecting sebaceous glands and is unrelated to atopic dermatitis.
