The following internal and external factors are the most common excema causes:
Internal factors
Heredity - A family history of eczema, asthma or hay fever (the strongest predictor) - if both parents have eczema, there is an 80 per cent chance that their children will too.
Food - Diary/milk and wheat products,acidic fruits, eggs, nuts, seafood, chemical food additives, preservatives and colorings.
Stress - Emotional stress is a well-known trigger of eczema flare-ups. Learning to reduce stress can significantly help the problem.
External factors
Irritants - tobacco smoke, chemicals, paints, bleach, weather (hot and humid or cold and dry conditions) and air conditioning or overheating. Scratchy clothes (like wool) can also irritate the skin. Its best to wear clothes made of soft fabrics like cotton. It is also recommended to wash all new clothing before wearing them.
Allergens - dust mites, feathers, molds, grasses, plant pollens, foods, pet hair, soaps, shampoos and washing powders, and certain cosmetics. Ingredients such as alcohol, astringents, and fragrances may trigger or worsen eczema.
It is very important to understand the excema causes. Minimizing these causes can help give some excema relief. Just as important is to use the right treatment.

Eczema is a genetic skin problem. It is passed on from other family members that have this. If you have eczema, eating certain foods and wearing certain clothing may worsen the cause of excema. There is no cure for eczema yet. It causes the skin to be dry and itchy. It is best to ignore the itch, if you don't the skin would peel and worsen. Also it is best to moisturize as plenty as you can a day. So that way your skin wont be dry.

excema is something you are born with- nothing causes it. different things, however, may trigger flare-ups, like pet dander, grass, heat, etc. it all depends on the level of sensitivy one's skin has and their own personal allergens

You can be born with it or develop it. Once you have it it will come and go but you'll have it forever.
