This tissue disease is eczema. It starts of as dry skin and can lead to dry and itchy skin. Once you start scratching the area opens up and you have an open wound. The wound can still be itchy and that can lead to bleeding of the area. If the area if exposed to long, bacteria can get inside and the area can become infected. There are many creams for eczema but not all of them work for everyone. Some people who have eczema also have asthma and allergies, and according to my dermatologist these three things are connected. Eczema can inflame if you eat something your allergic to or if something that your allergic to touches your skin. There is no cure for eczema, but you can control it
