Scaly, dry, itchy skin. It can have redness as well. I've had it since I was a child.

Don't scratch and keep your skin moisturized. People with eczema have some sort of deficiency in their skin where we don't have a moisture barrier/don't produce oils.

Any unknown rash or skin condition must be seen by a health care profesional immediately.
Go now to a doc or nurse please. Especially if you are taking any perscriptions, have tried new foods, possibly or definitely have been bitten or stung by a bug. Allergic reactions can be deadly.

you mean eczema?
it is a skin condition that will cause skin to become red, irritated, itchy, and sometimes develop small, fluid-filled bumps that become moist and ooze.
