body zones & triggers
Each person's experience with Skin Flare-Up of eczema & dermatitis is unique and the cause can be just as individual. Skin Flare-Up can be provoked by a host of trigger factors - some are irritants, and some are allergens. Food and stress can also contribute to Skin Flare-Up.

Also, for hereditary reasons, some people inherit a naturally weaker skin wall, and are therefore more likely to experience Skin Flare-Ups.

The word cement can describe all sorts of adhesive materials. Here though we are talking about cement used in the building industry. Although there are many different types of cement, almost all are based on combinations of lime (an alkali) with silica (drying and abrasive to the skin). Cement can, therefore, be a physical and chemical irritant. If it is not possible to avoid contact with cement, try to wear plastic or PVC gloves if you must handle it.
