How could eczema look different on my skin?

In lighter skin tones, eczema tends to appear pink or red in color.

Moderate-to-severe eczema on dark/black skin manifesting as bumps and rashes on hands

In darker skin tones, eczema tends to appear darker brown, purple, or ashen gray in color.

Moderate-to-severe eczema on dark/black skin manifesting as bumps and rashes on legs

Some people with eczema may develop bumps around hair follicles that resemble goosebumps (folliculitis). These bumps can appear with or without scaly patches on the skin.

Moderate-to-severe eczema on dark/black skin manifesting as bumps and rashes on ankle

People with darker skin often experience thickening of the skin (lichenification) after flare-ups. Areas of thickened skin, or plaque, may feel rough or leathery.
