Eczema Awareness Week is held each spring, when the most common type of eczema - atopic eczema - tends to flare. Potential triggers include pollens, grasses, heat and humidity, shedding pet fur and even the drying effects of air conditioning.
Eczema affects up to a third of Australians. Although there is no cure, this skin disease can be managed, improving quality of life, says the Eczema Association of Australasia.
