These may include:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"mol-bullets-with-font\">\n<li class=\"\">Heat, dust, soap and detergents<\/li>\n<li>Being unwell, such as having a cold<\/li>\n<li>Infections<\/li>\n<li>Dry skin<\/li>\n<li class=\"\">Stress<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">There is no cure for eczema, however, 70 per cent of childhood sufferers no longer have the condition in their teens.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Patients should avoid known triggers for flare ups and use emollients.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\"><span class=\"mol-style-italic\">Source:

long demanded countries take tougher action to combat the scourge of pollution, which is thought to kill 7million people every year globally.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Eczema is a group of inflammatory skin conditions causing itchiness, dry skin, rashes, scaly patches and infections that affect up to 25 per cent of the population.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The condition can intensify to such an extent it becomes debilitating, with inflamed skin all over the body.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">At least one in ten children will have eczema at some point but they will typically grow out of it as their immune system develops.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">It is believed to occur in people with a common genetic mutation that leads to very dry skin.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Flare-ups of symptoms can also be linked to allergies or triggered by certain soaps or foods.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Dermatologists will usually first prescribe creams and washes to deal with the dry skin, and steroid creams to reduce swelling and redness.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">If these are ineffective then immunosuppressant drugs, such as ciclosporin or methotrexate, are given.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">It comes as <a style=\"font-weight: bold;\" target=\"_self\" class=\"class\"
