Yes. I am most affected on the forearms. I have a horrible time washing dishes by hand. A dishwasher is a neccissity for me. It is very itchy and burns. My daughter has most of her eczema on her legs.
Here is what we found works best:
* Wash all clothes in All or other laundry detergent that is free from colors and scents.
* Use a good lotion on the skin after bathing.
My daughter likes Oatmeal Baths (found at Dillons, Walmart, Walgreens)
* My daughter HATES jeans. They really make her legs break out. She always wears stretch pant, sweats, shorts, dresses, cotton or polyester pants. Just not denium.
* Both my daughter and I love a prescription med that is a cream that is good for children and adults. ELIDEL It is expensive, but one tube has already lasted the two of us for a year and a half and it is not even 1/2 the tube yet.
* Body wash like IVORY SNOW, and DOVE are the best.

One of my kids has it and he gets it in the joint areas. Elbows, knees, ankles, wrists. Make sure you use a soap that is clear w/o fragrance. After bathing prior to drying off put a vaseline cream (it lasts 18 hours) all over the body to lock in moisture. If you have a prescription ointment or cream like elidel,elecon,protopic, kenalog etc...put those over the affected areas.
Also, get checked for food allergies as these can aggravate symptoms if you aren't aware of what they are and are ingesting them.

I usually get a rash on the inside of my elbows, and on my face, I used to get it on my knee joints too. I would only get scabs from itching.
