AbstractDiscoid (nummular) eczema is a common and distinctive eczema variant, which has not been studied in depth. Although the principles of management are similar to that of classic atopic dermatitis, distinctions are made due to its unique presentation and persistent clinical course in children. Australian and New Zealand dermatologists with an interest in paediatric eczema developed a consensus narrative to assist clinicians in diagnosing and treating this subtype of eczema. Identifying triggers, potent topical corticosteroids under occlusion, skin barrier support and management of pruritus are first‐line therapies, however, many eventually require systemic immunomodulatory agents.
