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.						Fastenings Skin Flare-Up of eczema or dermatitis around the waist, on the wrist, back, shoulders or areas of scalp - are all common signs of sensitivity to nickel. This useful, tough metal is very hard, so small quantities give strength to fastenings, studs, hair clips, buckles, zips, bra straps among others. Unfortunately, tiny particles of the metal can pass through even healthy skin setting up a sensitivity reaction, which may result in a Skin Flare-Up. Avoid contact with any fastenings that cause a reaction, or if they are unavoidable, paint them with a clear varnish or cover them with tape. Choose nylon zips and bras with no fastenings where possible.
