10 Symptoms Of Discoid Eczema
Symptom #3: Flaky Skin
Our skin is fairly supple. This is largely thanks to a substance known as collagen, while the skin will also retain moisture which also helps to keep it soft. This can change under certain conditions such as being exposed to harsh weather for too long, and it can also be affected by certain medical conditions.
Patients with discoid eczema can find that affected patches of skin will become dry and flaky. They can find that a crust can form over the patches and they can also become cracked in some instances. The cracking in particular can cause some discomfort and potentially lead to further medical complications.
