【Excessive skin dryness can also cause eczema】
If a person's skin is in a dry or humid condition for a long time, it is very easy for them to develop eczema. At this time, our skin will also become very itchy. If we frequently scratch it, the condition will become worse.
Therefore, when eczema occurs, it is best to seek timely treatment and avoid scratching with hands.
