Eczyma why happens?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Genetics and hygeine: It's a genetic disease which means you got it from your parents, you'll have it for life. You have to keep it under control. Frequent washing with hot water, harsh soaps, scrubbing the skin all make it worse. Keep your skin moisturized and don't scratch it.
