Though eczema patches are generally itchy, people with eczema sometimes report feeling soreness or a burning, stinging sensation. This can be caused by the inflammation or from scratching and injuring the skin.
If you are struggling with painful flare-ups due to eczema, we recommend applying a cool compress, taking an anti-itch medication to reduce scratching, or applying a calamine lotion to your skin. For more comprehensive eczema treatment, contact our practice in Sewickley, PA.
