Specializes in Adolescent Medicine

Eczema??: Eczema is dry skin and most common locations are in flexor areas of elbows and flexor areas behind both kness. It is invariably bilaterally symmetrical. Try not to use much soap (It dries the skin) and after bathing use moisturizers on dry areas. If that's not sufficient then topical steroids can be used.
