My bf has dry skin around his neck & near forearm & bicep. eczema? it looks dry & scaly .no discoloration.what could he use to help treat it/go away?

First try vaseline: Hard to say if the skin is just very dry or it is eczema. Apply no soap to those areas, and showers should be short. No bathes and skipping a shower is a great idea. If all this does not work, see a dermatologist.
