eczemas
- 1Plural of eczema.

Allergic and irritant eczemas can look alike but need different treatment.
Note
A plural that appears only when the word is counted. Eczema is mostly a mass noun: you have eczema, not an eczema. The plural surfaces when clinicians separate kinds or presentations. It fits the broader use, where eczema stands for dermatitis in general, better than the narrower one meaning atopic dermatitis alone. Outside clinical writing, "types of eczema" is the more natural phrasing.
