Eczema doesn’t have exact cause rather just environmental factors. Heredity is also a factor that could trigger eczema. Adults with eczema who have children are more likely to pass down the condition (McIntosh, 2015).

Environmental factors that occur are allergens, irritants, temperature, stress, food, and hormones. Pets, mold, and dust are signs of allergens. Laundry detergent, soaps, and shampoos are examples of irritants. Weather suddenly from hot tot cold could affect eczema. Nuts, eggs, and milk are types of foods that have an effect on eczema. Hormones that happen during pregnancy or menstrual cycles could also have an effect on eczema (McIntosh, 2015).
