New eczema symptoms - burning

[treep2305]

Hi

I'm wondering if anyone might be experiencing similar symptoms to me. I am 42, lifelong eczema sufferer. My eczema is usually characterised by broken skin, deep cuts and itchiness.

However, I am on my third bout of something different now. I don't have any broken skin - my last flare up cleared up well. The area around where I normally get eczema (on my hands) is suddenly bright red, with a rash, very painful to touch, burning. I haven't used anything new.

Any ideas? It's killing me! The top layer of skin is brown and shiny in places too.

Sorry to hear that and it does sound serious. It could be quite a few different conditions/complications from lifelong eczema.. hope you can get a dermatologist appointment soon. If you start to feel feverish or muscle weakness, may even want to go emergency. Hope you get some relief soon, take care.
