A doctor said that it was eczema. I had never had this condition before in my life. It appeared at age 34. What do you think?

it doesn't sound like eczema to me. Are there tiny little blisters on top of, and under the skin? Does it itch severely? Does it spread when you scratch it? If not, it's not eczema. If all the things I've mentioned exist, visit www.thecureforeczema.com.

I get a small (usually smaller than a dime sized) patch every few months then it goes away. Not scall, just slightly dry and a bit lighter then my regular skin tone. It has happened on my upper arm, my lower leg, my shoulder and my ankle... May be eczema??

Sounds like numular eczema to me. I only had a few patches myself until I was your age. Unfortunately, I now have it all over in patches. Do you have allergies? Its always worse during allergy season. I use cortisone cream. Be prepared!! It probably won't be the last spot.

I don't mean to alarm you, but I think you should see another doctor. Some skin cancers start out that way. If it's eczema all you need is eucerin. A type of lotion.

Its normal. This kind of effects change with the weather and the allergies. There is a cream called Diprosone whitch reliefs the ardor.
Then ask your dermatologist about antihestaminic pills, to reduce the nervous feeling.
Its not leathal but certainly its uncomfortable.
I understand you perfectly because i had it, and now i am healed.

i have the same thing on my ankle...it appeared 3 years ago, and i'm 23.....never had any problems like that before....apparently, it can just appear. I was given some medicated cream to put on it. I didn't like that i had to wash my hands all the time after putting that on, so i bought some Cetaphil lotion/cream....it's a super moisturizing cream and works great!!! Try it out.

Sounds like a good bet. If it doesn't clear up see a dermatologist.
