Seb derm or eczema?
I have an appt with my doctor tomorrow. This is a terrible flare up of whatever this is, but I’m just curious whether it’s possible this is eczema and not seb derm. I’ve been treating it as eczema (heavy creams and Vaseline) because I’ve had it in the past but it’s not working lately. The only thing that helped was a topical steroid for a while but when I stopped it, this craziness happened. It’s very tight feeling, kind of itchy, and really, really sensitive to the touch.
I have little spots that look like acne in the dry patches. I also have a spot under my eye on my eye lid that’s red and dry. None of the spots really flake heavily or have the greasy texture I hear about with seb derm. It mostly stays as these dry bumpy-looking patches.
Thanks!
