A member asked:

I'm having an eczema flair up from washing my hands too much. my left hand is worse than my right and my lymph node at my shoulder is hard. is that ok?

No: Eczema alone should not cause lymph node swelling at the shoulder. If the size is larger than a hazel nut and the duration has been over 2 weeks , it should best be checked by your doctor.
