An independent skin-health publication
Clear reporting and grounded guidance for skin, care and the life around it.
A source-grounded guide to eczema's appearance across skin tones — the colors official sources actually describe, the bumps and distribution differences on darker skin, the pigment changes that can outlast a flare, and the tone-neutral signals that matter on every skin.
A source-grounded tour of the main forms of eczema — atopic, contact, discoid, pompholyx, seborrheic and varicose — covering where each tends to appear, what distinguishes it, how appearance varies by skin tone, and why telling them apart is a clinician's job.
