Question 1

i normally have eczema, not sure if this is it. local swelling with pus buildup and local redness, pain and sensitive - about 3-4 days?

Accepted Answer

Could be infection.: I would recommend having this looked at by your doctor. It certainly may have started as eczema, but at this point sounds like it is infected. It may even be an abscess. Your doctor will be able to tell with an examination and get you the proper treatment.

Question 2

i have eczema. at times i beeak out and itch on my face and inner thighs, with a lil swelling.  what is the causeof this?

Accepted Answer

Itch common: A major feature of eczema is significant itching.  The itching and rash can occur anywhere but usually follows a particular pattern depending on age.  Facial eczema is more common in children and inner thigh is not a typical location.  There are many triggers of itching with eczema including dyes and fragrances in soaps and detergents, sweating, foods or environmental allergens. See your allergist.

Question 3

how can you reduce facial swelling from blistering eczema?

Accepted Answer

See Dermatologist: Uncomplicated eczema does not blister.  Eczema may sometimes weep or get crusty and even then it is often a sign of secondary infection, usually bacterial. If you have eczema with blisters then you may have a secondary viral infection called "eczema herpeticum " in which case you need to consult a dermatologist immediately.

Question 4

i have never had skin issues but suddenly have what appears to be eczema and psoriasis. also, redness and swelling under eyes intermittently.

Accepted Answer

Eczema: Skins issues can develop at any point. Sometimes this can happen for unclear reasons while at other times it could be related to medications, other conditions and photosensitivity etc. You should avoid sun exposure and plan to see a dermatologist as soon as possible. You can also see your PCP.

Question 5

swollen lymph nodes on left neck, could it be from eczema + acne? should the swelling go down after 5 days of antibiotics? if not, is biopsy needed?

Accepted Answer

Painful or painless?: Is the lymph node painful or not? There are several reason of lymph node swelling. Infections can be one of the cause, and antibiotics would reduce the size in general if treated appropriately. Acne doesn't usually cause swollen lymph node unless secondary infection exists. Any tooth infection, sinus problem? If no changes in the lymph node size after treatment, you may need biopsy. Good luck!

Question 6

gp found active acne, eczema, inflamed throat, and skin irritation from nickel to be cause for swelling nodes on front and back of neck. possible?

Accepted Answer

Swollen nodes: The swollen nodes may be due to the sore throat but if eczema or acne is weeping the nodes could be swollen because of it.

Question 7

is there a chance that swelling of my feet and lower legs(excessivly) can have any thing to do with exzema. very painful, and unable to walk.?

Accepted Answer

Eczema swelling: Some autoimmune diseases, of which eczema is classified, can lead to excessive swelling of the lower extremities. I often do not see much swelling with eczema in general though. Often times, other autoimmune issues may be at work and should be evaluated. If you have any other medical issues, such as heart or lung, these may contribute to swelling, as well.

Question 8

will eczema on your hear cause lymph nodes to swell?

Accepted Answer

Hair or ear?: Eczema by itself no.  But staph and colonization with other bacteria is common in individuals with eczema.  Skin breakdown from eczema may lead to an infection and thereby cause lymph node swelling.  Many other things can cause lymph node swelling.  Suggest discussing it with your doctor if its been more than 2-3 weeks and NT improving.

Accepted Answer

Eczema: Yes, chronic eczema can cause your lymph nodes to swell because of low grade infection.
