      We have eczema when our body is reacting against foreign substance such as food/ body lotion/ plant spores… it can be anything really. Eczema is an over-reaction from our immune system trying to protect us from potentially harmful foreign chemicals, which is different from person to person, but obviously it makes us uncomfortable.

      This is linked to our genes and how they respond to the environment in the way Theresia suggests
