What are some of the symptoms of exzema?

Answer 1

Typically, the main symptom of eczema is patches of itchy, dry, thickened skin. These patches are usually on the hands, neck, face and legs but can occur anywhere. In children, patches are commonly found in the inner creases of the knees and elbows. If you scratch these patches, open sores with crusts may develop and become infected. If you have an itchy rash and a family history of eczema or Asthma, you should contact a doctor. If over the counter creams don't work within a week, or if your rash gets a yellowish crust, or if you get small painful fluid-filled blisters you should also contact a doctor.
