The tissue under the skin and above the muscle is called fascia. In eosinophilic fasciitis, the fascia becomes red, swollen, and thick. The most commonly affected areas are the skin over the legs, neck, abdomen, and feet. The exact cause is unknown, but it might be due to nonspecific triggers causing an abnormal allergic or inflammatory reaction.

My experience was great. I was worried, but the symptom checker helped me narrow down what it might be. I feel a little relieved compared to when I first started, and it gives me a starting point for what my symptoms could mean.

Female, 40s
I was actually very impressed with the results it provided because, although I didn’t mention it during the questionnaire because I thought it was unrelated, it suggested I may have something I’ve actually been diagnosed with in the past.
