Nummular eczema is a puzzling disease with at least three names: (1) nummular eczema, the most commonly used name, (2) nummular eczematous dermatitis, a longer and more medically descriptive name, and (3) discoid eczema, a name derived from the disease’s typical coin-shaped lesions seen in this photo:
Nummular eczema characteristically appears first as a group of tiny red spots (papules) and blister-like lesions (vesicles) that enlarge and merge into a reddened, itchy, sometimes burning coin-shaped lesion two to 10 centimeters in diameter.
Since the cause of nummular eczema is unknown, treatment is largely directed at relief of the major symptoms of itching and burning.
