While children mostly grow out of eczema by the time they reach adulthood, for some, it develops later in life. As its underlying causes are difficult to treat, people who develop eczema are prone to flair-ups even after symptoms have been cleared.
So far, research indicates that eczema comes from a mix of environmental and genetic factors. Caused by inflammation, a natural immune response, many find that the condition worsens after eating specific foods, undergoing a lot of stress or coming into contact with certain chemicals.
Despite a lack of scientific evidence at present to suggest that CBD can clear eczema per se, due to the substance’s known anti-inflammatory effects, some remain hopeful that it may be able treat the skin condition.
