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.						Tree sap You may never go near trees (unless you have a real fir tree at Christmas) but the chances are the sap and resins extracted from trees are a regular part of your environment. As well as rubber and resins, and other plant products are used in many applications such as soap, paper, varnishes, glue, soldering flux and certain types of paint. A common example of a Skin Flare-Up of eczema or dermatitis caused by a tree sap would be the itchy, red skin under a sticking plaster, after a minor cut or graze, which is triggered by the rubber and adhesive of the sticking plaster.
