Will well water cause alopecia and eczema to be worse?

Possible: Well water will depends on the quality of the water..... whether it meet standard or not. For alopecia, it should be quite unrelated, but it if possible to make eczema worse depending on the water quality and frequency of use itself. Good luck!
