Eczema On Brown Skin

What does it look like?

People of all nationalities can suffer from Eczema. But, research tells us that in the US, Black and Latin American children have more severe eczema than white children. It’s important to recognize that eczema on brown skin looks different

Here are some important things for you and your doctor to look out for:

• Itching may be more severe
• Skin lightening (color may return within weeks to months)
• Extensive skin dryness
• Dark circles around the eyes
• Rashes that look dark brown, purple, or ashen gray, not red. Doctors sometimes miss this sign.

People with brown skin may be more prone to hyperpigmentation, or darkening of the skin, because of their eczema. This can make the skin look even more inflamed and irritated, which can effect the confidence of  those affected. Next, we will talk about how to manage it.
