10 Causes of Eczema
Cause #5: Skin Imperfections
For many people, smooth, unblemished skin is something they strive to achieve. Such skin is often considered to be beautiful and even an indicator of social status. Not everybody has such perfect skin, though, for various reasons. It is thought that even a small crack in the skin can lead to an outbreak of eczema.
One way to prevent such imperfections and cracking from occurring is to use a moisturizer. This can help keep the skin supple and in one piece, hopefully preventing eczema from being triggered. Note also that the moisturizer you are using might also trigger eczema itself, so be mindful in which one you are choosing.
