A member asked:

Can allergy to salicylic acid cause eczema?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Eczema is an allergic entity by itself. The salicylic acid can cause either allergic contact dermatitis or irritant contact dermatitis as a reaction. Treatment is often similar but they are different diseases.
