When there is a purulent, in place of aserous, discharge, the crusting often becomes very thick and of adirty yellowish brown color. This falls spontaneously when theinflammatory process subsides, leaving a reddened skin, but as arule no permanent trace of the eruption is left. The upper illustration in the accompanying plate shows thecondition of the face so frequently seen in infontile eczema. A highgrade of inflammation is usually present. The profuse serous dis-charge dries upon the surface of the skin and. mingled with thehemorrhage occasioned by the inevitable scratching, presents a darkreddish friable pellicle which soon becomes broken by the muscularmovement when the little patient cries. The lower illustration shows a form of eczema in whichminute vesico-pustules develop and a profuse honey-like dischargedries upon the surface of the skin and forms a thick gummy crustof yellowish hue.

The squamous form of eczema is one very frequently metwith, since nearly every case of diffuse eczema tends to becomemore or less scaly before it disappears. The amount of scalingvaries greatly in different cases, ranging from a slight mealiness ofthe skin to thick whitish masses or irregular flakes of epidermiscurling up at the margin. When the scales are thick and whitishand the patches are isolated and numerous the appearance of erup-tion may suggest psoriasis, but the rounded and circumscribedcharacter of psoriatic patches is always lacking in eczema.
