Well, darling, eczema itself is not a pathogen. It's a skin condition, not some sneaky little germ trying to ruin your day. Eczema is actually a result of a combination of genetic and environmental factors causing inflammation in the skin. So, don't go blaming some pesky pathogen for your itchy skin, honey.
