What Are the Symptoms of Eczema?
Almost always, your skin will itch before a rash appears in eczema. Typically, eczema shows itself as:

• Patches of chronically itchy, dry, thickened skin, usually on the hands, neck, face, and legs in children, the inner creases of the knees and elbows may often be involved.
• If scratched, dry patches of skin and open sores with crusts may develop and may get infected.
• Call Advanced Dermatology & Skin Cancer Specialists About Your Eczema If:
• You develop an itchy rash and have a family history of eczema or asthma.
• If you use an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream, the inflammation doesn’t respond within a week.
• You develop yellowish to light brown crust or pus-filled blisters over existing eczema patches, which may indicate a bacterial infection.
