What deficiencies can cause eczema? Pretty sure mine is a side effect of my allergies but interested in covering my bases.

  > What deficiencies can cause eczema? Dermatitis/eczema (the terms are used frustratingly interchangeably) describes a set of symptoms. It covers poison ivy rashes (contact) to cradle cap (biotin deficiency). Atopic dermatitis [1], is not tied to any nutrition deficit. (My sister had atopic dermatitis growing up.) So if you displayed dermatitis symptoms and found vitamins cured it, it may have been non-atopic. Your method worked. But it hasn't been shown to help someone with the atopic kind.

    I had a very serious case of atopic eczema wrongly attributed to an allergy to metals. Doctors had tried everything. I had resorted to wearing medical cotton gloves, and a thick perma layer of cortisone cream (nicely colored red by it mixing with my open flesh). Over the counter all-in-one vitamins & minerals have cured me. I am not lying! I now think that the root cause of my condition was my immune system. The allergy was probably just a consequence
