Question:
Answers:
I think you mean eczema... It sometimes does if the water is cold then no, but when the water is hot it does.
Not while you're bathing but maybe afterwards as water has a drying effect on the skin. Try applying a lotion to your skin after you bathe or any ointment that is prescribed by your doctor. Or try taking an oatmeal bath. This can soothe the skin.
It can if your skin is cracked or really irritated from the eczema, especially when the soap, shampoo or other products get into those open sores.
