Eczema and allergies
Me and my dad both have moderate/severe eczema since we were under the age of one, turns out we both have severe allergies. My friend has severe eczema, but claims she has no allergies. My question is : is eczema always caused by allergies?
Thank you very much for the reply.
It helped a lot, I always thought eczema was caused by allergies.

Hello,
Eczema is not always caused by allergies. Eczema is often caused by allergies to common natural inhalants and intolerance to some foods.Sometimes it is an overactive response by the body's immune system to a bacterium that normally lives on the skin or an irritant.However , eczema is commonly found in families with a history of other allergies or asthma.
Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing.Kind regards.
