While these are common areas, these are not exclusive areas to eczema. Eczema can be very itchy, make your skin very dry and covered in red, scaly, dry patches. These patches can also be very tender and sore. Most of the time eczema occurs in children under the age of five. There are no known causes of eczema as it can be caused by a variety of things. Eczema can be caused by genetics, a symptom of an abnormal immune system, sweating during playing, and improper lining of the skin. Although eczema can be very frustrating as it constantly itches, it is not life-threatening, Asthma, anaphylaxis, and eczema are oftentimes found to go hand in hand. When this is the case you may be able to find the underlying cause by looking into the asthma diagnoses or anaphylaxis diagnosis deeper. There may be a link back to a food allergy. Diagnosis for eczema includes patch testing of the skin where a small amount of the eczema is scraped off to be sent for lab testing. This is to rule out all other skin diagnoses.
