In total, eczema affects 30 million American children and adults. The condition, marked by inflamed red plaques on the skin that itch like crazy, is often triggered by icy temperatures, dry air and stress, as well as skin products with fragrances. Researchers aren’t sure why the condition is rising so rapidly, but a range of theories point at environmental factors, household chemical exposure, antibiotics and even too much junk food.
