How Does Eczema Occur

How to prevent wet eczema on dogs? Constantly re-occuring!?
I have a 7 year old Bernese Mountain Dog. Over the last couple of years he has been getting wet eczema which can re-occur every few months. We take him to the vet when he has a bout of it, where they shave the area and prescribe him with antibiotics, hibbiscrub etc, which clears it up after time. We also sometimes get his coat cropped quite short which seems to prevent it to a degree.
I was wondering if anyone has any ideas as to how to prevent these outbreaks? It gets very sore, and he loses all the hair round the area which takes a long time to grow back. I don’t think the vet knows what is causing it. He is fed on a high quality food and doesn’t seem to have any other health issues which are linked to it. Although he did have meningitis which was prescribed with steroids which he has used on and off for a few years. Could this have anything to do with it?
Thanks for any suggestions on prevention!
Do a research regarding the steroids that your dog is currently taking. Most of the time, any medications would always have a side effect and this might be the reason why your dog is having a repetitive eczema. I knew for a fact that there are some medications that were being prescribed to dogs were also being taken by human beings.
My dog have seasonal allergy and when he starts to itch and scratch we give him his medicine prescribed by the vet which is a steroid. The side effect was my dog gains weight and we have to watch his food intake as well.
