Doctor explains what ECZEMA looks like on BLACK SKIN - plus photos, diagnosis and treatment

In this video Doctor O'Donovan explains what eczema (atopic dermatitis) looks like on black skin, including demonstrations with real life photographs to help you better recognise this common skin condition. Symptoms of eczema: On dark skin, including brown skin, dark brown skin, Black skin, and other darker skin tones, 'redness' which is often described can be difficult to see. Eczema flare-ups tends to look darker brown, purple or ashen grey in color. Things like skin swelling, warmth, dryness/scaling or itching and oozing may help confirm the diagnosis. Lichenification is also one of the eczema symptoms that may appear differently in darker skin tones. The itching due to eczema has been shown to have a greater impact in Black patients, who are also more likely to have severe disease. Beyond differences in severity, skin color and symptoms of eczema, unique forms of atopic dermatitis may be seen in darker skin tones. Individuals with black skin more commonly develop small bumps on the torso, arms and legs (called papular eczema). Sometimes, bumps develop around hair follicles and resemble goosebumps (this is known as follicular accentuation). People who repeatedly rub and scratch the eczema-prone areas may develop skin thickening and firm, raised bumps on the skin called prurigo nodules. There can also be hypo and hyperpigmentation which I discuss in the video in more detail.
