Eczema
Eczema is a rash that commonly presents as dry itchy skin with inflamed red areas. This skin condition can occur on may different places of the body but especially affects the ankles, feet, wrists, hands, upper chest, neck, and eyelids. It also tends to affect the inside of the knees or elbows.
Common symptoms that are usually associated with eczema include:
Severe itching
Thick, scaly, cracked skin
Exceptionally dry skin
Skin that becomes swollen, sensitive and raw from scratching
Bumps that are raised and sometimes leak and crust over
Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, can look like other skin diseases like psoriasis or other allergic reactions, so it is important to have one of the dermatologists at Dermatology Arts examine the rash and discuss best treatments for the skin condition.
