Eczema?

Shahad • FT Mama to my sunshine boy 💙 Hamad 💙

My mom has eczema on her leg and foot. After I gave birth I got really dry skin and now I have a patch on both legs that’s incredibly dry and itchy and when I scratch the skin breaks. Am I causing the dry patches to develop into eczema or is it genetic? What can I do to stop or prevent it?
