10 Symptoms Of Discoid Eczema
Symptom #7: Swelling around Patches

There is also the matter of cracked skin and burst blisters that can lead to an infection. This is obviously likely to cause more problems for the patient and it will need to be addressed accordingly.
An infection of the area is likely to cause the skin around the patches to become swollen and red. The skin will also feel hot to the touch and also quite painful. It is likely that a patient with this condition will need antibiotics to fight the infection.
