Eczema is primarily caused by skin barrier dysfunction and immune dysregulation

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Current dermatological evidence consistently supports the consensus that eczema (atopic dermatitis) is fundamentally driven by a combination of epidermal barrier dysfunction and immune dysregulation.

The analysis

The retrieved literature consistently emphasizes that atopic dermatitis is driven by an interactive axis of epidermal barrier defects and immune dysregulation, such as Type 2 inflammation. Multiple reviews confirm these are the core components of the disease's etiopathogenesis.
