Filed Under Eczema Allergy, Eczema Triggers | 1 Comment

I thought I’d lay it out in a tabular form about [tag-tec]eczema triggers[/tag-tec], so that it is clearer for you to investigate what you can do about your eczema outbreak.

Common [tag-ice]Eczema Triggers[/tag-ice]

A) Irritants
- Harsh soaps and perfumes
- Detergents
- Contact with irritating chemicals
- Bathing without moisturizing

B) Allergens
- Food allergies
- Mold
- Pollen
- Pet dander
- Dust mites

C) Infections
- Bacterial
- Viral
- Stomach flu

D) Environment
- Changes in temperature and humidity
- Perspiration
- Stress

Eczema can also be seasonal.  It is hard to say when you are more prone to getting outbreaks. 

Some people suffer more when the weather is warm and humid.  Hence, summer is a bad time for them. Sweating thus not help.

Yet others suffer more when the weather is dry and cold. Long drawn out winters are very depressing periods for this group of eczema sufferers.

Yet, I am the one with this condition.

Here are more eczema facts that you should know!
