FAQs
The exact cause of eczema is not fully understood. It is believed to result from a combination of genetic, environmental, and immune system factors. Individuals with a family history of eczema or other allergic conditions (such as asthma or hay fever) may be more prone to developing eczema.
Eczema triggers can vary from person to person, but common factors that exacerbate it include allergens, such as pollen, pet dander, and dust mites, exposure to irritants like detergents, soaps, and perfumes, certain weather conditions, and hormonal changes.
Yes, there are several types of eczema. The most common type is atopic dermatitis, which typically begins in childhood and is associated with a family history of allergic conditions. Other types of eczema include dyshidrotic eczema (with itchy bumps on the hands and feet) and nummular eczema (characterized by coin-shaped plaques).
Possibly, but probably not. Diet can play a role in eczema for a small number of individuals. While most eczema is not affected by diet, a few people may react to certain foods such as dairy, eggs, nuts, soy, and wheat. If you would like to try diet modifications for eczema, we would love to help guide you. Restrictive diets, especially in children with eczema, can sometimes cause problems that we can help avoid.
