According to Wikipedia:
Eczema is a disease in a form of dermatitis,or inflammation of the epidermis.The term eczema is broadly applied to a range of persistent skin conditions. These include dryness and recurring skin rashes that are characterized by one or more of these symptoms: redness, skin edema (swelling), itching and dryness, crusting, flaking, blistering, cracking, oozing, or bleeding. Areas of temporary skin discoloration may appear and are sometimes due to healed lesions.

Those who suffer eczema can be a pity to see most especially when you see them scratch endlessly on their skins.  I know how it looks because my nephew suffered a mild eczema on his skin and every time I see him scratching, I can’t help but to worry because sometimes it is bleeding. If you haven’t seen how eczema looks like, you can view some of eczema pictures on this resource site for eczema sufferers. For sure you’ll find helful info and relief.
