Patients with eczema often experience itchiness that leads to scratching. Frequent scratching releases inflammatory substances that contribute to the spread of a larger rash. To prevent the spread of eczema, it is essential to identify the type of eczema and take appropriate measures. For contact dermatitis, avoiding contact with irritating substances is a simple solution. However, the most effective way to prevent spreading is to resist the urge to scratch and promptly seek medical advice for eczema treatment options.
