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 most common plant allergens include cow parsley and celery, and are a common cause of contact dermatitis. Exposure to these allergens may occur anywhere e.g in the garden, park, walking in countryside. The sap of some plants being sprayed onto the skin, when using a garden strimmer may cause 'Strimmer Dermatitis'. The sap contains a substance, which sensitises the skin to light. Skin Flare-Up may appear on exposed skin, which has come in contact with plant debris.
