Eczema

Eczema is a dry skin condition that makes patches of your skin become dry, red and itchy.  It can occur on just about any part of the body. However, in infants, eczema typically occurs on the forehead, cheeks, forearms, legs, scalp, and neck.

Scratching can make the skin bleed, and can also make the eczema worse. Eczema symptoms can include the skin becoming thick and scaly. It is a highly individual condition, it varies from person-to-person and it comes in many different forms. But it is not contagious so you cannot catch it from someone else.

In mild cases of eczema, the skin is dry, scaly, red and itchy. In more severe cases, there may be weeping, crusting and bleeding.

Constant scratching causes the skin to split and bleed and also leaves it open to infection.
