what makes eczema spread
Eczema does not spread from person to person. However, it can spread to various parts of the body (for example, the face, cheeks, and chin [of infants] and the neck, wrist, knees, and elbows [of adults]). Scratching the skin can make eczema worse. Unfortunately, there is no known cure for eczema.
There are some everyday elements in your surroundings that might make you or your childâs eczema flare up, or get worse. These are called âtriggers.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.
There are everyday materials in the environment that can cause you to have an allergic reaction and trigger an eczema (or AD) flare up. Some of the most common are: seasonal pollen, dust mites, pet dander from cats and dogs, mold and dandruff.
