City with confusing arrangement of paths for cycling gets complaint (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eczema

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'complaint' is the definition.
(eczema is a kind of health problem)

'city with confusing arrangement of paths for cycling' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'city' could be 'ec' (the City of London postcode) and 'ec' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'gets' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eczema that I've seen before include "Inflammatory skin disorder" , "Inflammatory skin condition" , "external irritation" , "Distressing skin ailment" , "Skin inflammation" .)
