Which statement describes eczema?

Dry skin, contagious, comes and goes

Dry skin, not contagious, comes and goes

Eczema presents as dry, itchy skin that tends to flare up and then improve rather than staying constant. It is not contagious, so the description that fits best is dry skin, not contagious, that comes and goes.

The other descriptions don’t fit eczema: oily skin or a constant course isn’t typical of eczema, and a fungal cause describes a different condition with its own patterns and contagiousness.

Oily skin, contagious, constant

Cracked skin due to fungus
