Is it ok to wear skinny jeans with ezcema?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: Eczema or atopic dermatitis can be irritated by "friction" from wearing tight clothes, so that is truly patient driven. If the rubbing does not irritate you or make the eczema worse, you will be ok, but generally, loose fitting clothing is a better option to help the rash improve, especiallly if you are using medications that you would not want to get all over your tight jeans.
