    Not always but very frequently young children with eczema have allergies which are triggering the eczema.  Worth looking at the most common allergens - dairy, egg, nuts, peanuts, wheat, seafood.  Allergy testing under 1s can be unpredictable, but you can try removing things from diet - only 1 at a time.  See an immunologist for advice.
