What triggers your eczema flares, itching, and cracked skin? Eczema flares can be sudden, painful and embarrassing. Getting social support from others who know what you are going through is a great way to learn strategies for managing flares.

On MyEczemaTeam, the social network and online support group for those living with eczema, members talk about a range of personal experiences and struggles. Eczema flares are one of the top 10 topics most discussed.

Here are some conversations about flares:

• Traveling, so I am getting a flare because I'm out of my routine.
• Just getting over a bad flare. Did a bleach bath last night. Has anyone noticed bad flares happen especially at night?
• So tired of flares. Sometimes this is all so overwhelming!
• My son has been battling consistent flares ups for the past several months. Every time he begins to improve he gets worse.
• I have eczema on my forehead, on the side of my face, under my chin & neck. When it flares up, it's red, itchy & flaky. Please help!
