A member asked:
Can you give me suggestion: does eczema changes skin color?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Eczema changes: Eczema may cause skin changes including thickening or discoloration. It may take up to a year for skin to become normal as new skin regenerates. Moisturizing may help this. However, skin discoloration may be persistent. Other secondary causes of skin discoloration with eczema may need to be looked at (infection or topical medications). Best to discuss with your dermatologist.

As a permanent eczema sufferer, I've long struggled to find a way to ease the itching despite treatments for dry skin. Even if I constantly moisturise, there is still no way to know when and why an itch or rash will emerge. Have you any suggestions?
