Yes, it is possible to desensitize to some allergens, for example, house dust mites. But at this point in time, it is not possible to desensitize to any foods.

As Professor Walls has stated, yes you can be desensitised for aero-allergens, which maybe causing your eczema symptoms. There are two types available, one is Sublingual immunotherapy and one is Subcutaneous immunotherapy. You would need to consult an immunologist to have correct diagnosis made to determine if it is an allergen causing the eczema.
