What are the common causes of Eczema?

Eczema is usually an allergic reaction or hypersensitivity of the skin to a chemical, a pollutant or even metal. Chances are that if you suffer from eczema, then your siblings or other close relatives may have asthma or hay fever, as Eczema is common in people(infants or baby, adults) who have a family history of allergies. It is not very easy to isolate a compound or substance to which people may be allergic; therefore it is difficult to pinpoint the exact cause for Eczema. An allergic reaction can be set off by almost anything; extreme hot or cold conditions, the skin touching a very rough or coarse material, sweating, eating jams, jellies or meat. Some people might be allergic to soaps, foods and detergents, or disinfectants. Others get an allergy from dust mites and contact with animals. Sometimes the allergy can be caused by a viral infection or even due to stress. Even dairy allergies cause eczema.
