There are some everyday elements in your surroundings that might make you or your childâs eczema flare up, or get worse. These are called âtriggers.â. Knowing your triggers will help you keep your symptoms under control. The most important thing to remember is that eczema is different for everyone.
The exact cause of atopic dermatitis (eczema) is unknown. Healthy skin helps retain moisture and protects you from bacteria, irritants and allergens. Eczema is likely related to a mix of factors: 1  Dry, irritable skin, which reduces the skin's ability to be an effective barrier. 2  A gene variation that affects the skin's barrier function. 3  Immune system dysfunction. 4  Bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus, on the skin that creates a film that blocks sweat glands.
