Dust mite allergy: Skin exposure to dust mite allergens has been implicated as an exaccerbating factor in some cases of atopic dermatitis or eczema. Dust mites grow in high humidity environments and are typically highest in carpeting and in your bed. Consider buying a vaccuum with a hepa filter and bedding encasements; might help, can't hurt.
