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
