I have had eczema all my life but in my adult years it tends to appear in certain parts of my body... for example I constantly have an issue with just below my bottom lip... it often gets very itchy and almost burns... it is aggravated by lying down on a couch or bed or touching or being near things with dust... I try to dust as much as possible and stay away from dust-infested culprits but it is very difficult....any have any other ideas?

I have no idea I too have eczema and one of the things that bothers my skin the most is ( and this is only some of the time) my hair! When it touches my face it makes my face irritated and I can't stand it! I try to always keep my hair off of my face anyway, but I feel really bad when my daughter who is 5 wants to play make over and mommy doesnt want to let herdo my hair because I dont want to go thru the pain and aggravation that my hair touching my face will cause. However she usually gets me to give in and she does her best to not get my hair in my face. Try asking your doctor if they know of any eczema protecting lotions (kinda like sunscreen but helps protect your skin from irritents) My friends daughter got some type of lotion that does this and she swears by it, I really wish I knew the name, sorry.

Well you should consult a good doctor instead of asking us. Take care of yourself. have a nice day.
