Infants and small children are majorly infected by it. It is a non contagious disease and can be often linked to allergies and asthma. This disease is time and again seen to have caused due to hereditary reasons. Eczema can get aggravated by irritants like solvents, smoke, detergents, and chemicals and so on. The weather state too can worsen the condition. Too much stress also will exaggerate the symptoms of eczema.
