| | Eczema - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | There are several causes of dermatitis, but the most common ones are related to allergies. | | | As the condition is often related to family history of allergies (and thus heredity), it is probable that gene therapy or genetic engineering might help. | | | Eczema is a form of dermatitis, a skin irritation characterized by red, flaky skin, sometimes with cracks or tiny blisters. |
