Thank you
Answer: Hello 

Good morning Sorry about your worry 

Eczema can be quite a problematic skin characterized mostly by irritation 

Again it is good for that diagnosis to be made by a doctor for you as it may be something else as skin lesions may look similar but mean different things 

I highly recommend that you see a dermatlogist  skin doctor and have it checked out 

Meanwhile you can try these out for some relief prior to seeing the doctor 

take lukewarm baths

apply a  moisturizer within 3 minutes of bathing to lock in moisture

wear cotton and soft fabrics and avoiding rough scratchy fibers and tightfitting clothing

use a mild soap or a nonsoap cleanser when washing
air drying or gently patting skin dry with a towel rather than rubbing the skin dry after bathing

where possible avoiding rapid changes of temperature and activities that make you sweat

learn and avoid  individual eczema triggers

use a humidifier in dry or cold weather
keeping fingernails short to prevent scratching from breaking the skin

I hope this helps 

Cheers
