A dermatologist writing for the Mail Online describes an increase in people suffering from weeping, crusty skin during autumn, focusing on eczema flare-ups. The article says some patients develop very sore, inflamed skin—particularly on the hands—that can weep fluid and form crusts, sometimes progressing to infection.
The report frames the problem as recurring and disruptive for some people, including claims that sufferers may need to stop working because symptoms can be severe. The outlet presents autumn seasonal timing and personal clinical observations as the main context, emphasizing the impact on daily life and the visibility of symptoms such as weeping and crusting.
Because both items provided are the same Mail Online dermatologist-focused article, there are no meaningful differences across sources in this prompt. No additional reporting from other outlets, such as public health agencies or independent medical experts, is included in the material provided.
