It is difficult to pinpoint an exact cause of eczema. However for most types of eczema, researchers believe a combination of genes and a trigger are involved.

People with eczema tend to have an over-reactive immune system that when triggered by a substance outside or inside the body (certain foods, plants or environment) respond by producing inflammation. 

This inflammation is the cause of the red, itchy and painful skin symptoms common to most types of eczema.

When the skin gets too dry, it can become brittle, scaly, rough, or tight, which can also lead to an eczema flare up.
