Question: Is mold an eczema trigger?

Answer: Yes, mold is a serious trigger for eczema flare-ups and should be taken very seriously. Mold is not just harmful for people with eczema; it is genuinely horrible for everyone, and some people develop autoimmune issues just from being exposed to mold in their homes for a long time.

If you have eczema, there is a high likelihood that you also have mold allergies, which means every time you come in contact with mold, your immune system will release histamine and cause inflammation. This is especially true for people with skin problems like eczema because of the gaps in your skin that allow mold to get inside your body.

How To Heal?

Minimizing mold exposure and buying an air purifier are great things to do to minimize this problem, but if you don’t fix the root problem, nothing will change. When I used to have a very severe case of eczema, I was constantly focusing on things outside myself; I was constantly thinking about allergens and how I could avoid them instead of focusing on my body.

Then I started doing my own research, which led me to gut health, elimination diets, supplementation, fasting, etc.

Now, after years of constant suffering, I am completly eczema free, and triggers and allergens like mold don’t affect me nearly as much as they used to. If you want to know exactly how I healed from a severe case of eczema and how others are doing the same, join The Ultimate Eczema Protocol.
