Eczema

What Causes Eczema?
Eczema is often caused by a combination of genetics and environmental factors. People with eczema have sensitive skin that reacts easily to triggers. Some common causes and triggers include:
- Allergens like dust, pollen, or pet dander
- Soaps, detergents, or perfumes
- Weather changes, especially dry or cold air
- Stress
- Certain foods
- Family history of eczema, asthma, or allergies
Treatment Options:
While there is no permanent cure, eczema can be managed with the right care:
- Moisturizers to keep the skin hydrated
- Topical creams or ointments (like steroids or anti-inflammatory creams)
- Antihistamines to reduce itching
- Avoiding known triggers
- Prescription medications for more severe cases
- Light therapy (phototherapy) for chronic eczema
