What Causes Recurring Red Flaky Patches On Skin?

Hi! I get red flakey patches on my skin much like eczema. Although, when the spot heals up, I lose the pigmentation of my skin where the spot was. I am not using any special cream, just ordinary unscented lotion. I have also used eczema lotion before and still have the same result. I m starting to think it s more than eczema. Your input?

Hello,

The symptoms seem to be related to eczema. I suggest using a steroid cream for local application. I also suggest using antihistamines to prevent the itching.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
