Characterized by red, itchy skin that is scaly, dry, cracks and sometimes has oozing skin blisters or lesions, eczema is irritating at best, but during severe flare ups can be very painful. Care and prevention is therefore very important for your health, comfort and general well-being as you manage your eczema. A big part of this is learning your triggers so that you may avoid them.

Some of the more common triggers include:

1. Temperature changes and Humidity Levels:

Cold, dry weather is a very, if not the most, common trigger for eczema patients. For many people this is a huge trigger and, if living in cold climates, the wintertime can often be difficult. On the other hand, many patients also flare up when it is warm and humid. Sometimes, simply getting warm from exercise or exertion can cause problems.

2. Environmental factors:

Lots of things in the environment can also trigger an eczema flareup. True allergens, such as pollen, mould and ragweed can be triggers. Pet dander and pet saliva can also be problematic for many people.

3. Nutrition:

We also know that certain foods can trigger eczema. Most of the foods that we think cause issues are actually true food allergies on the part of the patient. However some food just seem to be inflammatory for certain people, even with negative allergy results. This is where things like gluten and dairy may cause issues for many people, perhaps due to an inflammation response, even if they test negative for an allergic reaction. In these cases, the patients find that they're doing better when they're off of those foods.

4. Stress:

It turns out that stress is a big trigger as well. And of course when we're feeling flared up that often contributes to stress which then makes this vicious cycle. Learning to recognize and control your stress level can be considerably helpful with both your eczema and your day-to-day life.

5. Not enough sleep:

Poor sleep is another trigger for many people.


All of these things can come together and many patients find that multiple factors are happening at once.

What's very frustrating for patients is that they are doing everything they can to avoid their triggers, but still have flareups. This may be what you’re experiencing. What’s important to understand is that your triggers may not necessarily be the underlying cause . If you're lucky enough to have only a few triggers, and you find that if you avoid them your skin is clear, then you don’t need us. But for most patients, even when they are really trying to avoid their triggers the norm is that they still experience eczema. Our goal is to help you avoid everything you feasibly can, but then we still often need to treat the underlying disease because it is still there and the triggers are simply fuelling it.
