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.						Solvents Petroleum, white spirit, acetone and similar chemicals are often found in paints, paint thinners, varnishes and cleaning agents, they can dissolve a lot of things that cannot be dissolved in water and evaporate quickly. They are also responsible for the damage that solvents can cause to the skin. By dissolving the fatty material that sits between the cells in the skin wall, these solvents break down the defense of the skin wall, leaving it more prone to a Skin Flare-Up of eczema or dermatitis. Always wear plastic or PVC gloves if you must come into contact with solvents.
