Eczema Treatment Care

Question by truelori: Is there such a thing as acne from eczema?
I have acne on my chest, and my doctor said it could come from eczema. I don’t have eczema, and I’ve never heard of acne that comes from eczema. He suggested I moisturize it, but this doesn’t sound right to me. Wouldn’t moisturizers just clog the pores? Is there such a thing as acne that comes from eczema?

It’s little whiteheads and a few little red spots that later become whiteheads, and it’s on my upper chest.

Thanks

it is true that spots can come from having dry skin aswell as greasy skin – not sure they can come from eczema
i have both spots and eczema – you would need to moisturise yourself whether you have spots or not they will not clog your pours if you wash/exfoliate before moisturising.

To understand more of my question above .. I, personally never had Eczema growing up and now that I’m in my mid 20’s I had gotten this scaly, red, itchy rash on my face and when I went to go see a Dermatologist, my doctor came up with the diagonsis of Eczema and I researched the skin condition online where I read about how Eczema has no cures. If I never had it in my life and came across it mid-Sept and my rash going away as it comes back .. does anybody know how I would have gotten Eczema in the first place? Any ideas?

My daughter has a really bad rash covering her body. As of now, we do not know the source of it. Initially, the doctors told me that it was contact dermatitis. ( A rash caused by something she touched…or came in contact with) Since taking her back a couple more times, they now say it may be from a virus, or who knows what. When given instructions in the beginning, I was told not to use soap on her skin but twice a week, and to keep Eucerin or Vaseline on her to keep her skin hydrated. But this is when they thought it was contact dermatitis. Her rash is bad as ever. It has been almost 2 weeks. If it isn’t…and I’m almost certain it isn’t, contact dermatitis…could the soap still aggravate the rash? I am thinking that if the rash is being caused by an internal issue, then soap should not make it worse. Am I wrong? BTW, I am only using unscented, sensitive skin soap on her…maybe only once a week now. I will do anything to make her better.
