Discoid eczema is a prolonged skin disease that causes itching, burning, and blistering. It can also cause swelling, inflammation, and flaky skin. The rash appears on the skin in red coin-shaped discs or eczema-like plaques. It has an intense itch and is incredibly uncomfortable.
The plaques affect various body parts, but the lower legs, hands, forearms, and trunk are the most commonly affected. Moreover, discoid eczema is a chronic condition that has been present for an extended period or has recurred. It is not infectious, and it cannot be contracted by coming into contact with or being close to an infected person.
