All types of eczema cause itching and redness. Blistering, scaling and cracking are also common symptoms. Eczema typically affects insides of elbows, backs of the knees, and the face, but some eczema types can cover most of the body.
In what’s known as the “itch‐scratch” cycle of eczema, which proper treatment can alleviate, the frequent scratching due to intense itching can make your rash even worse, leading to even more inflammation and itching.
