I have eczema on my face, so my skin gets very dry and flaky. But ive started to exxfoliate alot, more than i should. And i started getting little brown spots on my skin and some capillaries broke. Does anyone have any ways to fix the brown spots are broken capillaries?
Thankyou!

You can't fix broken capillaries yourself but a dermatologist can help with that. You can cover them up with concealer.
Let me offer you a suggestion. I also have very dry skin on my face. I use a light coat of petroleum jelly (vaseline) on my face at night before I go to bed. In the morning, I can wash my face with warm water and a wash cloth and the dry skin rubs off. If I
exfoliate with a scrub, the problem seems to get worse.
Try petroleum jelly. I swear by it.

I don't know anything about eczema but I have a mild case of psoriasis that was diagnosed by a doctor many years ago. He informed me at the time that there were some over-the-counter products I could use to relieve the symptoms but that the cause of psoriasis was unknown and there was no cure.
But then several years ago, my ex-wife found an article on the Internet which claimed that sugar was perhaps a cause of psoriasis. I stopped eating sugar and the psoriasis cleared up in a couple of days.
This is an ongoing experiment for me since I never fully gave up sugar. I love cookies, ice cream, chocolate cake and apple pie. I will go weeks at a time without eating any sugar at all and then I'll have a couple of cookies or something. If that is all that I have and I immediately drop sugar from my diet again, no psoriasis will appear. But if I have sugar for several days in a row, the psoriasis returns.

I am not aware of a home remedy for fixing the capillaries. Maybe you could hide the imperfections with a good moisturizing makeup instead of exfoliating so much. Good luck

stop exfoliating so often. you're breaking your skin and damaging it more than it is. cut down to twice a week.
I'm sure you have special creams and moisturizers to put on your skin.
If not, try Neutrogena Oil Free Moisture for sensitive skin.
I don't really know what else to say, but I do know that your spots and broken capilaries are from too much scrubbing.
