Can Contact Dermatitis Turn Into Nummular Eczema?
Posted by: Alan in Contact Dermatitis, tags: Contact, Dermatitis, Eczema, Into, Nummular, Turn
I know I have contact dermatitis. I have all the signs and symptoms of contact dermatitis. And from what I have researched and studied (I’m a nursing student), the treatments and medications I have used have resolved the problem (although it keeps coming back).
I went to visit the school clinic’s doctor today, and she diagnosed me with nummular eczema, because she saw some chicken skin-like patches on my arm. I don’t know if it’s right, but she’s been a trusted friend.
Here are the signs and symptoms I have:
>itching at night
>allergy to dust, uv rays, too much cold, contact with elastic, rubber and nickel.
>flaring (allergic flares – worsening of condition) during perspiration
>hives (both small and large ones. My body looks like a world map with many islands when I get allergic attacks.
>bronchospasms and airway constrictions (This happens when I have allergic attacks and hives don’t appear.)
>dry skin
>small nodules similar to chicken skin
>dark marks left behind after too much scratching
>scratch marks
I had really good skin condition before this. One can even call it flawless skin but now this? It’s really bothering me.

Eczema is a type of dermatitis. Sometimes stress can trigger it, especially if you have a hectic or demanding schedule. Also, allergies can develop at any time in our lives. Pay attention to what breaks you out and try to avoid it.
Cetaphil cream is recommended for eczema. But anything that’s formulated for sensitive skin should help.
