a medical condition in which patches of skin become rough and inflamed, with blisters that cause itching and bleeding, sometimes resulting from a reaction to irritation (eczematous dermatitis) but more typically having no obvious external cause.

The main symptom is a rash that typically appears on the arms and behind the knees.

To help prevent outbreaks, make sure your skin is properly moisturized, even when not irritated.
