COMPARISON · ECZEMA APPS
Best eczema tracking apps (2026): 9 apps compared, including the one we make
By Jakub Pilch — I have had eczema since childhood and I build Exemio, one of the apps in this comparison. Every store fact below was read from the App Store and Google Play on the date shown and is re-checked monthly. No affiliate links, no paid placements. This is not medical advice.
Conflict of interest: Exemio is our app. To keep this honest, it sits in the same table and under the same columns as everyone else, it is not ranked first, and the gaps it has (no validated score, no Android app, no US ratings yet) are stated in its own section.
The comparison table
Prices as listed on the US App Store on October 23, 2026; they differ by country and change — check the store before you buy. Ratings are the US App Store average and count. "Last update" is the iOS app's latest version date. "iPhone" means the iOS app; all nine also install on iPad.

App by app: who each one is for, and what it lacks
EczemaWise
Best known — but shutting down
EczemaWise, from the National Eczema Association, has been the default recommendation for years: free, built around the validated PO-SCORAD and ADCT measures, with a health report you can download for your doctor, and a 4.6-star US rating from 217 ratings. The catch is final: new sign-ups closed on April 15, 2026 and the app stops working for everyone on December 18, 2026, when it leaves both stores. It was also US-only. If you already use it, export your history now — our EczemaWise shutdown guide walks through how. If you are choosing an app today, start somewhere else.
Eczema CARE+
Best for a validated severity score
Eczema CARE+ is published by the Pierre Fabre Eczema Foundation, a corporate foundation of Pierre Fabre Laboratories. It is free with no in-app purchases, and its core is the PO-SCORAD index, a patient-scored severity measure validated in a 471-patient European study; it also offers a photo-based AI severity estimate and lets you share your history with your doctor by e-mail. Pick it if what you want is a clinically recognised severity number over time. Trade-offs: the US App Store lists French as its language and shows no rating yet, it is a severity tool rather than a daily lifestyle diary, and it is pharma-funded, which some patients prefer to know.
My Eczema Tracker
Best for the simplest weekly questionnaire
My Eczema Tracker comes from the University of Nottingham's Centre of Evidence Based Dermatology, the group behind the POEM questionnaire. It is free and deliberately simple: once a week you answer POEM and RECAP, and the app charts the scores so you can bring them to appointments. Choose it if you want the lightest possible routine and a measure your dermatologist already knows. It is a weekly questionnaire rather than a daily lifestyle diary (you can add your own notes), Healthify NZ's review notes that it records one person's results, it has no displayed US rating, and it is English-only.
Bearable
Best if eczema is one of several conditions you track
Bearable is a general symptom-and-lifestyle tracker, not an eczema app, and that is both its strength and its limit. It has by far the most ratings here (4.8 stars from over 6,500 on the US App Store), pulls sleep and heart-rate data from Apple Health and Fitbit, and shows what correlates with your symptoms; data export is included. Premium is sold in several tiers, listed from $4.49 to $49.99 on the US App Store. Choose it if you already track other conditions. You will set up your own skin symptoms and triggers, and there is no eczema-specific severity score.
EczemaLess
Best for free photo-based severity tracking
EczemaLess is sold on the App Store by Polyfins Technology; the International Alliance of Patients' Organizations describes its 2024 relaunch as developed by Viatris with IAPO advisory input. It is free with no in-app purchases. It uses POEM (which its listing calls an eczema quality-of-life index), estimates severity from photos with AI, generates a report for your dermatologist, and is available in seven languages. Choose it if you want photo-based severity tracking for free. Its App Store listing states it is not intended for self-diagnosis or self-treatment, and the iOS app was last updated in December 2024.
Eczema Tracker (Redblink)
The old incumbent — not updated since 2021
Redblink's Eczema Tracker is the indie incumbent: in the store since 2016, it logs flare-ups, medicines and triggers including pollen, mould and weather, and charts your history. It still appears in older "best apps" lists, which is why it is here. But its last update was July 2021, it holds 3.6 stars from 18 US ratings, and we could not find a current Google Play listing. We would not start with it in 2026.
FlareLog
Best low-cost photo diary
FlareLog is a new independent iPhone app (released April 2026) that keeps skin photos and daily context together in one private diary, with no account required. The free tier gives descriptive summaries; Pro ($2.99 a month or $24.99 a year on the US App Store as of October 23, 2026) unlocks the sample-aware comparisons of triggers and sleep, a PDF consultation report and CSV/JSON export. Choose it if you want a photo-first diary at a low price. It is young — no displayed ratings yet — and we found no Google Play listing for it: the "FlareLog" on Play is a different app by a different developer. Its listing is careful to say its comparisons are observations, not causes, which we think is the right framing.
Eczema Tracker゜ (Clarity)
Best if you need a language the others don't offer
Eczema Tracker゜ by Clarity Digital Therapeutics is one of a family of condition trackers from the same developer, which also publishes MCAS and chronic-illness trackers. It logs symptoms, treatments and routines, exports PDF or CSV reports, and is localised into more than 70 languages, including Czech. Pricing is layered: yearly access from $19.99, trial offers, and "Carey AI" credit packs up to $29.99. Choose it if you need a language the others don't offer. It has no validated instrument — a 0–10 self-rating, plus SCORAD- and EASI-style logging and charts according to its Google Play listing — and the US store shows no ratings yet.
Exemio (ours)
Best for a fast daily diary that summarises patterns in your own log — ours
Exemio is our app, so read this with that in mind. It is an iPhone eczema diary built for speed: rate your skin in one tap from the daily reminder, log food, sleep, stress and supplements in seconds, or tell Lumi about your day in one sentence. The free tier covers logging, streaks, a daily chat with Lumi and one Quick Insight every 7 days. Full Analysis (Premium) compares your good and bad days from your third logged day and summarises possible triggers and patterns in your own log, ranked by how strong the link is; Premium also adds a PDF summary for your dermatologist, and you can export everything anytime. It imports EczemaWise history from screenshots, a PDF or pasted text, and the whole app is available in English, Czech, Spanish, French and Portuguese. What it lacks: a validated eczema measure (it uses 1–10 scales and free text), an Android version, and a track record — it launched in January 2026 and has no US ratings yet (two in the Czech store). Premium is $6.99 a month or $59.99 a year with a 7-day free trial (US App Store, as of October 23, 2026; check the store for your price). Not a medical device.
Questions people ask
- Which eczema tracking app is best?
- It depends on what you want to track. For a validated eczema measure, Eczema CARE+ (PO-SCORAD) or My Eczema Tracker (POEM) are free and institution-backed. For a daily lifestyle diary that compares good and bad days, the independent options include Bearable, Eczema Tracker゜, FlareLog and Exemio; in FlareLog and Exemio the comparison features are in the paid tier. EczemaWise stops working on December 18, 2026.
- Is EczemaWise still available?
- Not for new users. Sign-ups closed on April 15, 2026, and existing users lose access on December 18, 2026, when the app leaves the App Store and Google Play.
- Which eczema apps use a validated eczema measure?
- Eczema CARE+ (PO-SCORAD, severity), My Eczema Tracker (POEM for symptoms and RECAP for control), EczemaWise (PO-SCORAD and ADCT) and EczemaLess (POEM). Exemio, Bearable, FlareLog, Eczema Tracker゜ and Redblink's Eczema Tracker use their own scales.
- Which eczema tracking apps are free?
- EczemaWise, Eczema CARE+, My Eczema Tracker, EczemaLess and Redblink's Eczema Tracker are free with no in-app purchases. Exemio, Bearable, FlareLog and Eczema Tracker゜ are free to download with optional paid tiers (US App Store, October 2026).
- Can an app tell me what triggers my eczema?
- No app can prove a trigger. The most a diary app can do is show which factors tended to come before your worse days in your own log — a lead to test with your dermatologist, not a diagnosis. Patterns need several logged days; Exemio, for example, needs 3 days for a first analysis and 5 for correlations.
- Which eczema apps work on Android?
- Eczema CARE+, My Eczema Tracker, EczemaLess, Bearable and Eczema Tracker゜ are on Google Play; EczemaWise is, until December 18, 2026. Exemio and FlareLog have no Android version as of October 2026, and we could not find a current Play listing for Redblink's Eczema Tracker.
- Why isn't Exemio ranked first on its own website?
- Because the order follows a stated rule — backing type, then number of US App Store ratings, with ties broken by putting Exemio last — and Exemio has no US ratings yet, so it is listed last. We would rather you trust the table than the ranking.
How this comparison was made, and how it stays current
We compared eight apps that appear in current editorial lists (Healthline, Healthgrades, Healthify NZ) or in AI assistants' answers to "best eczema tracking apps", plus Exemio, our own app. Every store fact — price, languages, rating, last update — was read from the US App Store and Google Play on October 23, 2026; we re-check them about once a month, and the date at the top of the page shows the last check. Apps are grouped by their App Store seller (patient organisation, foundation or university first, then independent developers) and, within each group, ordered by the number of US App Store ratings, with ties broken by putting Exemio last. We read each app's store description and, where it exists, its publisher's page; we did not clinically evaluate any app, and we have not tested every app hands-on. If you spot an error, write to hello@exemio.app and we will correct it publicly.
