Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Eczemas can be acute, with marked spongiosis causing red papules and vesicles and oozing, weeping, and crusting, or they may be chronic, with redness, scaling, fissuring, and especially lichenification. Both acute and chronic forms of eczema may affect the same patient, with the acute reaction progressing to oozing and crusting; with continued pruritus, the patient's rubbing and scratching converts the eczema to the chronic, dry, lichenified form. 2, record 1, English, - eczema

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Atopic dermatitis. This chronic, eczematous condition of the skin is often associated with a personal or family history of asthma, allergic rhinitis, and atopic eczema. Pruritus is prominent, and the consequent scratching and rubbing lead to lichenification, most typically in the antecubital and popliteal flexural areas. The eczema usually manifests itself after the first few months of life, appearing on the face and extensor areas of the extremities as acute and subacute, red, vesicular and oozing dermatitis. 2, record 2, English, - infantile%20eczema
