Eczema in Chambersburg, PA

This condition is frequently characterized by red, dry, or itchy skin in addition to persistent rash breakouts. In most cases, the skin will start to feel itchy before a rash shows up. Many patients develop patches of skin that are continuously itchy, dry, or cracked. These spots may appear anywhere but largely happen in the face, neck, chest, legs, or hands. With kids, spots can show up on the inner creases of their elbows and knees. When the itchy skin is scratched, dry spots and open sores can develop and scab over and may become infected. More serious symptoms can include pus-filled blisters or a yellow to brown crust growing over eczema spots. These symptoms can indicate a bacterial or fungal infection.
