Nummular eczema

As nummular eczema may overlap with atopic dermatitis, asteatotic eczema and stasis dermatitis, the underlying causes need to be clarified. Nummular eczema or nummular (discoid) dermatitis can be treated with

• medium- to high-potency topical corticosteroid ointments
  
• topical immunomodulators
  
• tar preparations
  
• emollients.
