Proactive Methods For Treating Nummular Dermatitis

Nummular dermatitis, which is also known as nummular eczema and discoid eczema, is a skin condition resulting in the formation of coin or oval-shaped sores and rashes. The sores may be itchy, and some of them may release clear fluid. Some patients may experience pain from the sores, and the sores often form scabs. There can be a single patch of nummular eczema, but most patients have many patches across their skin. Nummular eczema often develops after a skin injury such as a burn, insect bite, or abrasion. The condition is considered chronic and may take months to resolve, and some patients may have multiple episodes throughout their lives.
