What are the main signs and symptoms of eczema?

Red, inflamed skin lesions that can occur on many parts of the body. These lesions are dry and often itchy, swollen, oozing, crusting, and with time can become lichenified (thick and leathery). Scratching is common, which leads to a vicious cycle of irritation leading to scratching leading to further irritation. Psychological symptoms such as depression, anxiety, and insomnia are also common.
