This long-term inflammatory skin condition is often genetic, with around half of cases linked to a specific gene.

It's especially important to regularly apply an emollient to your hands and face, as they're exposed to the elements more than any other part of your body. Almost half of people with eczema say clothing can irritate their eczema. This can include fabrics such as wool, silk and synthetic fibres.
