What would an excema rash look like and is it likely that a 65 year old woman with no history of excema suddenly develop the same?

Redness: Eczema is usually an itchy red rash that can affect sensitive areas such as the face or creases of the arms and legs. It can be caused by allergies or a sensitivity to fragrances or other ingredients in soaps and detergents. It can appear later in life if your skin is becoming drier over time. Use unscented and sensitive skin products only. Consult a dermatologist to evaluate and treat.
