Eczema can affect everyone differently, with some people experiencing dry, itchy skin and others having to deal with painful, open sores. Most members of MyEczemaTeam agree, however, that these symptoms can be frustrating, particularly when other people don’t have a strong enough understanding of the condition and may wonder whether it’s contagious.
