Eczema - change of environment? Stress?

I was just wondering if eczema can suddenly flare up because of a change in where the person is or their situation?
I havent had it in years, not since i was little, but living away from home for uni last year and this year i've had it come back in a patch on my arm, about 1 inch by 2 in size, nothing a bit of over the counter cream cant sort out though.
Im just curious as to why this is. Im not overly stressed, enjoy living away from home, not homesick or anything. Any thoughts?

You can become allergic to thibngs over night. I did with biological washing powder. Used it for years the all of a sudden it made me Queen Itchy from the land of Itchy. Took me fucking ages to find it out too.
As for stress, well you don't have to feel stress to be under stress. So you may well have some stress in your life but your coping with it but it's still there. Maybe lowering your immune system a little and the other things stress does.
I have stopped putting my heating on so much and also not been having the shower sooooo hot.
My face is now back to normal thankgod.
Goodluck E45 cream is good for dry patches or exfoliating them off with a good body scrub helps x
Waste of money. Just go to the chemist and ask for aqueous cream if all you need is re-hydration/moisturisation of the skin.
:yes:
I have found this helps more than e45.
Aqueous cream can also be used to shower with.
