Resembling eczema in appearance or characteristics but not necessarily true eczema.
From eczema + -oid (resembling). The suffix -oid comes from Greek eidos (form/appearance), meaning the condition looks like eczema but may have a different cause.
This distinction matters in medicine because treatments for eczema-like rashes can be very different depending on the actual cause—a rash might look like eczema but need completely different medicine!
