Common Eczema Causes
Genetics
Eczema often runs in families, especially alongside asthma or hay fever. A family history of allergies or sensitive skin can increase your risk.
Skin Barrier Issues
People with eczema may have a weaker skin barrier, allowing moisture to escape and irritants to enter, causing inflammation and itching.
Environmental Triggers
Dry air, pollen, pet dander, harsh soaps, or stress can all trigger or worsen flare-ups. Identifying and reducing triggers is a key part of treatment.
Immune System
Eczema involves an overactive immune response. This means flare-ups can happen even without visible irritants or obvious triggers.
Stress
Stress doesn’t cause eczema on its own, but it can trigger flare-ups and make symptoms harder to control.
