You notice parts of your skin flare up after coming into contact with certain irritants, like fabrics or fragrances

If you notice that your skin feels worse after coming into contact with certain things, it may be eczema, said Ellen Dabela, a New Jersey-based dermatologist. “If you find that you break out into itchy spots at random or that your skin is extra sensitive to fabrics, fragrances, or other irritants, it’s likely eczema is the culprit,” she told INSIDER.
