How to speed up the process of eczema healing on the leg? (photo)

Hi,Most of the time, the scratching to relieve the itch of eczema results in post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and skin thickening. These so called “scars” will gradually resolve once you stop scratching and allow the skin to heal well. A regular use of moisturizers will facilitate the healing process. The marks make take many months to gradually fade, though. Hope this helps!

Dyshidrotic eczema presents with tiny vesicles or bubbles on the feet and/or hands and these can be very itchy and sometimes painful. This tends to be symmetrical and usually affects both feet and/or hands. Fungal infection usually presents with scaly rashes on the feet. However, they can also present with bubbles and vesicles and this is termed an id reaction. This can look very similar to dyshidrotic eczema. When in doubt, a fungal scrape can be done to confirm or rule out a fungal infection.
