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.
