I've been extremely allergic lately, and I found out that it's related to a certain food. Anyway, when I'm allergic, I break out in eczema on my hands mostly, but this time I got it on my face, neck, wrists, and up my arms too. I also have some red patches on my scalp and some dandruff (not really huge flakes though, just looks like powdery almost). I know that the red patches could be from the allergic reaction, but what about the dandruff? Is that at all related to eczema? I'm using Nizoral shampoo and I'm hoping that works! Thanks so much!

Yes because Ecxema is a form of extreme dry skin and dandruff is a result of a dry scalp, it is all in the same family. Clearing up the Ecxema will also eliminate the dandruff.
Hang in there!!!

You need to take a Allergy Test to see what kind of foods you're really allergic to and you made also want to start using Fragrance Free things. Found that this work for Eczema
it a lotion "Sarna Sensitive Anti-itch Lotion".
