eczemata
USig-ZEE-muh-tuh/ɪɡˈzimətə/UKEK-si-muh-tuh/ˈɛksɪmətə/
- 1Plural of eczema. A rare technical plural.
Note
A plural built on the Greek pattern for nouns in -ma, found chiefly in medical writing alongside the regular plural eczemas. Either plural depends on the countable use of the noun, which is the less usual one. Most of the time eczema names the condition and takes no plural at all. Reach for a plural when counting distinct patches, outbreaks or types, not when naming the disease in general.
eczemata is a form of eczema
eczema, noun: A non-contagious inflammation of the skin, acute or chronic, marked by redness, itching, and outbreaks of oozing blisters that crust over and turn scaly. Full entry
