FACIAL ECZEMA

Eczema of the face can be particularly distressing because it is exposed for all to see.
Therefore, apart from troublesome itching, sufferers must also cope with the appearance.
This can affect confidence and interfere significantly with daily life, especially if the
problem is long-standing.
Eczema of the face may have a similar appearance to eczema involving other areas of the
body, with redness, dryness and sometimes cracking, weeping and scabbing. There are
several different types of eczema that may affect the face. It may be part of a more
generalised condition, or localised just to the face.
