Eczema shows up on more than 10 percent of Americans.
According to The Herbal Drugstore by Linda B. White, MD and Steven Foster.
Eczema: A particular type of inflammatory reaction of the skin in which there are typically vesicles (tiny blister-like raised areas) in the first stage followed by erythema (reddening), edema (swelling), papules (bumps), and crusting of the skin followed, finally, by lichenification (thickening) and scaling of the skin. Eczema characteristically causes itching and burning of the skin. (from: http://www.medterms.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=15770)
PICTURES OF ECZEMA:

If the affected skin becomes very inflamed; open sores called ulcers (UHL-sirs) may occur. A clear and sticky fluid may even weep from the affected skin. This can make it hard for the healthcare provider to decide if the skin is affected by eczema or by a skin infection. In fact both can occur at the same time. When the skin has been affected for a long time it can become thick and leathery. The good news is that the rash can be controlled.
