I suddenly got a breakout all over my body with small red bumps. i'm not sure if it's acne or something else. could it be scabies? (i have eczema)

Need to be seen: If u r worried about scabies u need to be seen to have it treated right away. That being said, eczema can also cause little red bumps too. However, I would not delay being seen if there is maybe a chance of it being scabies

Can eczema start in your late 50s or early 60s? I read online that eczema starts in your 20s or earlier. I am almost 61 and have red, flaky, non-itchy spots on my face for the first time ever. I've always struggled with acne.
