Question
Eczema flares tend to look like inflamed (raised), red patches of dry skin, which can feel extremely itchy. They might be blistered and/or weeping. In mild cases of eczema, a flare might cause only one or two small and mild patches of inflammation. Those with severe eczema might experience flares that last several weeks or even longer, and affect large areas of their body. The majority of people with atopic eczema experience repeated flares of an intensity and duration somewhere between these two extremes.
It’s also important to remember that what you can see on the skin’s surface isn’t the whole story: inflammation can be present in between flares, underneath previously affected skin that looks perfectly normal. It all depends on how intense the inflammation under the skin is: if it is less intense it will not be visible on the surface. However, it is still present, and can therefore make your skin likely to experience more flares.
Let’s take a look at what a typical moderate to severe eczema flare might look like, and how it progresses.
