Im 18 & i have had eczema all my life & ive noticed that n certain parts of my body where i have a rash it looks like a bruise. can it be skin cancer?

There is no way to: know without seeing the lesions. bruises will go away, skin cancer will not. If a lesion stays more than a month I would have a board certified dermatologist take a look

Eczema is quite: difficult to treat. If it were me I'd try eliminating all dyes and fragrances from my life and/or try eating wheat free. Skin cancer is extremely uncommon at 18 but not impossible. Does it look like a bruise or on closer inspection, or is it more brownish? Sometimes areas that have been inflamed (eczema) turn brown afterwards. If you have a family history of melanoma, see MD. o/w no diagnosis
