Can eczema start in your late 50s or early 60s? i read online that eczema starts in your 20s or earlier. i am almost 61 and have red, flaky, non-itchy spots on my face for the first time ever. i've always struggled with acne.

Eczema: diagnosis of eczema should be made with caution in adults. It is important to consult a physician and provide more information to figure out if it is truly eczema or sun related rash, vitamin deficiency, infection etc to mention few possibilities.
