Unusual to biopsy ec: Eczema is not usually diagnosed this way. The microscopic features of eczema are not specific. Your question is best answered after exam and discussion with a dermatologist. Localized dermatitis may be nummular dermatitis or contact dermatitis, etc.Eczema is a type of dermatitis. Anyway it can be treated.
