You can acquire eczema through genes, so if a member of your

Another factor is the food you eat. Nuts, dairy products, wheat,
seafood, and acidic fruits are known triggers of eczema.

You have eczema on your stomach and its turning your belly black how can you get it back to normal?

Treating eczema should be done with diet. Most people who suffer
from eczema usually are allergic to something in their environment
or the food they eat. The key is to figure out what is causing your
eczema in the first place.
I suggest you keep a diary whenever you have flare-ups and take
notes about what you were doing or eating at the time preceding the
flare-up. Also, there is the paleo diet which many believe will not
only cure your problem (via diet) but also has some beneficial
things in regards to arthritis and other ailments.
Treating Eczema Effectively?

Eczema Basics
Eczema is a rash-like skin condition that typically occurs on
the face, arms and legs, but can break out on any part of the body.
It is characterized by inflammation, redness, itching and dry skin.
In severe cases, sores can crack, bleed, blister and ooze. The most
common form of eczema is atopic dermatitis, which is an inherited
condition. Eczema outbreaks are often caused by allergic reactions,
certain fabrics, soap and other skin cleaners, over-bathing, dry
skin, sweating and hot conditions. The most appropriate eczema
treatment depends on the severity of the outbreak.
Basic Eczema Treatment
Good skin care can prevent eczema outbreaks and treat mild cases
of the disease. Skin should be moisturized with hydrating creams
and ointments, particularly oil-based creams. Eczema suffers should
take very short, warm baths and should apply moisturizer
immediately after bathing to hydrate their skin. Moisturizing cream
should be applied even before toweling dry. Within a few days, the
eczema outbreak should subside.
Treatment for Mild to Moderate Eczema
Physicians normally recommend nonprescription hydrocortisone
creams for mild cases of eczema in addition to a skin moisturizing
regimen. Moderate eczema can be treated with a stronger
prescription strength steroid-based corticosteroid cream which will
help control skin inflammation. Physicians also sometimes prescribe
an oral antihistamine to combat severe itching.
Treatment for Acute Eczema
More severe cases of eczema may first be treated with oral
corticosteroid medications. These medications are for short-term
use only because of their undesirable side effects. An immune
system suppressing drug, cyclosporine, is also sometimes prescribed
for a short period of time to combat eczema. Suppressing the immune
system can often help lessen the severity of an eczema outbreak.
Ultraviolet light therapy is also used sometimes to treat more
severe cases of eczema. Physicians sometimes treat very severe
cases of eczema with immune suppressant topical creams such as
Elidel and Protopic. These drugs should only be used after other
treatments have failed as the FDA has warned of possible severe
adverse effects from the use of these drugs. They should only be
used for a short period of time and should never by used on
children under the age of two.
