A member asked:
Does eczema spread from one part of the body to another?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and no: The rash of eczema does not cause more rash, but the underlying attack of the immune system to one's skin, that is the heart of eczema, can attack any part of the skin and so it crops up all over, anywhere, appearing to spread.
