Symptoms of eczema in dogs:

1. The main symptoms of acute eczema are red rashes or papules on the skin. The lesions begin on the face and back, especially on the face and back. The bridge of the nose, eyes and cheeks can easily spread to the surrounding areas and form small blisters. After the blisters burst, there will be local erosion. Due to itching and the moistness of the affected area, the animals will be restless and lick and bite the affected area, causing the symptoms of skin papules to worsen.

2. Due to the long course of the disease, chronic eczema causes thickening of the skin, lichenification, and dandruff. Although the moistening of the skin relieves the symptoms, symptoms of itching remain and may worsen. The most common clinical eczema is eczematous rhinitis in dogs. Lupus or pemphigus occurs in the nose and other parts of the sick dog. The affected area is scabbed, and sometimes serous fluid and ulcers are seen; when systemic and discoid lupus occurs, depigmentation and ulcers appear on the nose.
