  There is a relationship between eczema and allergies. Both are reactions that stimulate the production of an antibody called IgE when a person is exposed to an allergen. Eczema and allergies often run in families and can be passed from generation to generation.

  Allergies and eczema tend to run in families, so if parents have a history then children are a lot more likely to be affected. In this video, I will discusse ways to control symptoms.
