The main symptoms are skin rashes characterized by redness, skin edema, itching and dryness, with possible crusting, flaking, blistering, cracking, oozing or bleeding.

my eczema seems to come in cycles. it dissapears, or almost dissapears, then gets red, then dry and scaly, then if i pick off the old, dry skin, it heals and the cycle starts all over again! this usually takes about a week to go full circle. does this happen to anyone else?

theatre and I are there already. I'm having a very berry tea with crackers, cheese and cherry tomatoes and she's having a joint with some beer and we're both on really comfy recliners on thick pile carpet. we need some help with the decor if anyone is around??
1) infection gets going
2) body fights infection
3) body heals the damage (drying)
4) healed, damaged layers fall off
5) immune system returns to normal state (lower activity, non-inflammed)
6) new skin layers become infected again
My cycle is a week long too, with the weekend being the most likely time for a flare-up and Thursday being the day of best skin. I don't understand it because I have an unwavering daily routine of washing and moisterizing which I do not change during the week.
