I have been taking lipitor (atorvastatin) for high cholesterol for about 6 months. i developed eczema around that time, got treated. could lipitor (atorvastatin) cause the eczema?

NO: While anything is possible, that's not a known or reported side effect of lipitor (atorvastatin). Correlation does not imply causation.
