Symptoms of Eczema

The symptoms of eczema vary from person to person. Scratching and rubbing can cause or worsen some of the symptoms.

Symptoms include:

• Dry, itchy skin
• Cracks behind the ears or in other skin creases
• Rashes on the cheeks, arms, and legs
• Red, scaly skin
• Thick, leathery skin
• Small, raised bumps on the skin
• Crusting, oozing, cracking, or scaling of the skin
• Worsening in the winter, when inside air is dry due to central heating
