Papular Eczema: Symptoms, Causes, and Treatment

Signs and Symptoms of Papular Eczema

What makes papular eczema different from other forms of eczema is the appearance of the rash. Instead of looking flaky and red, the bumps tend to be small. They look quite like pimples without the pus. Commonly affected parts of the body include the legs, arms, or torso. You may feel very itchy around these areas. People with papular eczema may also experience other signs, which can be seen in other types of eczema, such as skin infections, cracked skin, dry skin, or a scaly rash. [4]
