Tough to do : The conditions are so different you may need a combination of topical steroids and topical antibiotics or other acne medications that will not aggravate acne --avoid retinoids and benzoyl peroxide.

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.
