I’ve recently been randomly getting itchy on like inner elbow, sometimes armpit, sometimes calve sometimes neck. But there’s like nothing there it only turns red after I scratch. Is this eczema? Or do u know what else it might be?

Could be eczema or intertrigo considering it seems to only flare up in folded areas. Any other symptoms?

it’s contact dermatitis and/or eczema probably. they are happening in the folds of your skin plus it’s cold now so it happens more

No other symptoms. It’s not just happening in my folded areas though like on my calves and right under my collar bone and along my jawline and chin sometimes and it happens like randomly then goes away and it’s not like happening in the same spot

I looked up intertigo I don’t think it’s that bc my skin doesn’t look different until I start itching then it turns red

I was wondering about eczema bc on google it says itching but all the pictures don’t look like what I have like could eczema be there without becoming red dry areas

Has someone with eczema, it doesn’t always have to look like that I mean the areas might even just feel a little bit dryer. But I’d also try an antifungal body wash too.
