Eczema in summer

My little boys eczema mainly started towards the end of summer so he generally has long sleeves /pants etc. When we get him changed and pull his pants down his hands are straight to his legs trying to scratch so the thought of summer and warm clothes like shorts etc is seeming so impossible. My husband said the summer weather, not using central heating, more consistent temperatures will help reduce his eczema - is this true?

It is mainly managed by diet, but we do notice flares after environmental changes

I hope that’s the case for you, however sweat also aggravates eczema in a lot of cases. For our son, his is best managed in the winter when it’s cooler, summer heat has him itchy all the time.
