Hello Anonymous,

Welcome to EmpowHER. Thank you for reaching out to our community.

Mold allergy symptoms can be similar to those of other respiratory allergies:

Nasal congestion
Runny nose
Sneezing
Irritated eyes
Coughing
Wheezing
Itchy throat

Mold can also trigger or aggravate asthma symptoms. Anonymous, I am wondering it the exposure to mold and mildew may be exacerbating your eczema? Have you spoken with your physician about this?

Regards,
Maryann
