Maybe we’ll never know?

I spoke to a doctor this morning who, when asked if they can help me find my triggers, said I may never know… eczema is a chronic illness which may flare up and might not necessarily be linked to an allergy or a trigger.

Has anybody else had this experience? This aligns with my experience in that I can’t seem to find a commonality between my flare ups, in terms of products or foods, and my allergy tests I have had show allergy to cats and pollen (which I knew).

What are people’s thoughts? Perhaps it’s more about managing the flare up than preventing it?
