<s>[INST] Why do some children have eczema? [/INST] The main causes of eczema are an atopic predisposition (family) and certain environmental factors. If one of the parents is atopic, the risk of the child being atopic is approximately 50%. The term "atopy" refers to a number of diseases, such as eczema, asthma and seasonal rhino-conjunctivitis. The risk increases if both parents are atopic. When the skin comes into contact with irritants such as wool or heat from a radiator, redness may appear. Source: PIERRE FABRE ECZEMA FOUNDATION.
