Short-term symptoms of eczema include itchy skin, redness and tiny bumps or blisters. If these symptoms remain untreated, the skin can become thick, scaly and dry. There can be areas of hair loss and color changes. Skin affected by long-term eczema is more vulnerable to secondary infections.
In many individuals, eczema often goes hand in hand with other atopic conditions, such as asthma and hay fever. Symptoms may be acute (i.e. scaling and oozing of the skin) or chronic (i.e. thickened areas of skin or changes in pigmentation). Eczema tends to first appear during a child's first year of life.
