Eczema Rashes

Eczema rashes are generally a dry, rough feeling, scaly patch of thickened skin. The dryness of the rash reduces the protective quality of the skin, making it less effective at protecting against heat, cold, fluid loss, and bacterial infection.

Redness is common in eczema rashes. The redness can fluctuate, appearing bright red at some times of the day while at others it is barely noticeable. The redness is usually most obvious when you are hot, have just exercised, or after a hot bath.
