Frequently Asked Questions
What causes eczema? Eczema is caused by a combination of genetics and environmental triggers. People with eczema often have a weakened skin barrier, which makes their skin more prone to dryness, irritation, and allergic reactions. Common triggers include cold weather, stress, fragrances, and certain fabrics.
1
Is eczema contagious? No, eczema is not contagious. You can't catch it from someone else or spread it by touch.
2
How can I manage eczema flares? Managing flares often involves using prescription medications, moisturizing regularly, avoiding known triggers, and following a gentle skincare routine. Early treatment can help minimize flares and prevent skin damage.
3
What is a bleach bath, and how do I make one? A bleach bath can help reduce bacteria on the skin and prevent infection during eczema flares. Here's how to make one: Fill a standard bathtub with lukewarm water (not hot). Add ¼ cup of regular household bleach (like Clorox) for a full tub, or 1 teaspoon per gallon for smaller baths. Soak for 10 minutes, then rinse off with clean water. Pat skin dry and apply moisturizer immediately. Only do this 2–3 times per week and always follow your dermatologist’s guidance.
4
Can diet affect my eczema? For some patients, certain foods may trigger flares—especially in children. However, diet isn’t the main cause for most people. If you think food is playing a role, we can help guide you through appropriate testing and strategies.
