Question by Kay LOVE: Why does eczema only break out on certain areas of your body?
For an example:
Let’s just say you only break out on one little area on your face often…
Why does it only happen in that one area? Why doesn’t it spread or break out in various areas of your face?

It does. I don’t get eczema all the time, just every few years but when I do get it, it’s all over my body and it takes 6 months to get back under control. The only place I didn’t seem to get eczema patches is my scalp. And the medication the doc prescribed didn’t work. I sure wish I knew what triggered it. And my sympathies to you.

Fellow eczema sufferers, do any of you find hot water soothing on affected areas?

I do, but i was wondering if anyone else does. (doesn’t seem to actually improve skin but does seem to help with pain and itching).

If you don’t find this helps what do you find soothing?

Tiny red bumps, patchy red areas that itch behind ears and on face. Anyone know what it is?

Question by staceyN: Tiny red bumps, patchy red areas that itch behind ears and on face. Anyone know what it is?
Yesterday, I noticed the skin behind both ears felt strange and bumpy. I had someone look and they said it looked irritated – red with tiny little bumps. This morning it has spread to one side of my face and onto my neck, and it itches. These bumps are very tiny and pinkish red, causing me to look like I have hives sort of.

A friend thinks it just seems like contact dermatitis, but I’m not sure about that. I’ve had that on my hands before and it didn’t spread and was not like this. Should I go to the doctor, or will this go away on its own? Thanks.

If it’s Garnier fake tan spray , it;s probably it. Caused me an itching under my left eye, and dry patches.

Perhaps you are allergic to a hair dye. Or something. It sounds as if it is an allergic reaction to something. Maybe something you ate, like strawberries…? Summertime…

Eat lots of garlic and drink lots of green tea as it will protect you against everything. Unless you are allergic against that…

Best of luck.
