 [ Symptoms ] i want to know if i stop smoking after 10 years could it bring back my eczema  i have stopped smoking on two occasions now and i found both times my eczema has come back after taking smoking up again it goes away is this just in my head or is there a connection with this please could someone possibly help me out with this as i would like to kick the habit and find it hard to do soeven when im over the 21 day barrier waiting to hear from you thanks andre [ Disease ] eczema assuming you have a correct diagnosis is genetically dry skin smoking cessation really should have no effect on an eczema flair up other than a coincidence by stopping to smoke you will live longer and thus have eczema for more years too eczema is not curable but it is treatable i commend your decision to give up smoking
