The exact reason why it is more prevalent in males is not fully understood, but it may be related to hormonal differences or variations in immune response.

  Genetic predisposition
- B.
  
  Stressful Lifestyle
- C.

- D.
  
  All of the above
Correct Answer
D. All of the above

Explanation
Eczema can be caused by a combination of genetic predisposition, a stressful lifestyle, and individuals who suffer from asthma or hay fever. Genetic predisposition plays a significant role in determining whether someone is more susceptible to developing eczema. Stressful lifestyles can trigger or worsen eczema symptoms due to the release of stress hormones. People with asthma or hay fever are more likely to develop eczema as these conditions are closely related and share similar underlying immune system dysfunctions. Therefore, all of the mentioned factors can contribute to the development of eczema in an individual.

Which of the following type of eczema affects the palms of the hands, soles of the feet, and fingers in an individual?
- A.
  
  Seborrheic dermatitis
- B.
  
  Neurodermatitis
- C.
  
  Nummular dermatitis
- D.
  
  Dyshidrotic dermatitis
Correct Answer
D. Dyshidrotic dermatitis

Explanation
Dyshidrotic dermatitis is the correct answer because it specifically affects the palms of the hands, soles of the feet, and fingers in an individual. Seborrheic dermatitis is a type of eczema that primarily affects the scalp, face, and other oily areas of the body. Neurodermatitis is characterized by itchy patches of skin, but it does not specifically target the palms, soles, and fingers. Nummular dermatitis causes coin-shaped patches of irritated skin, but it does not focus on the palms, soles, and fingers like dyshidrotic dermatitis does.
