What is discoid excema?

Discoid eczema, also known as nummular eczema, is a chronic skin condition characterized by round, coin-shaped patches of inflamed, itchy, and scaly skin. It commonly appears on the arms, legs, and torso, often triggered by dry skin, allergens, or irritants. The condition can be persistent and may require treatment with topical corticosteroids and moisturizers to manage symptoms and reduce flare-ups. While it is not contagious, individuals with a history of eczema or dry skin are more prone to developing discoid eczema.
