Do I have Eczema on my face?

My skin is horrendous lately, I've always had bad skin, the neck especially is very itchy and has lots of small lumps, also around the ear, it's very red and my forehead is clear, but the chin and even the cheeks now is covered in red patches and with some black-heads. I have been using Aloe Vera for my skin lately to try to help it, without make-up it looks really bad. I had asthma as a child and I don't know if any of my family members had Eczema, but I'm unsure to whether I have it or not.

Problem is I do pick my skin and sometimes it bleeds so I suppose the spots and soreness spreads across my face, but does this mean you can still siffer with Eczema?

Also, I get it on my shoulders, I have suffered with that for about 3-4 years and have seen the GP but no creams worked on it,I have just left it alone and used a refreshing body gel on it when I'm in the bath, but I try not to cover it up in fake tan.

    I suffer eczema. I know its tempting to pick at, but try not too. It makes it worse. As for wearing makeup to cover it up it will only irritate it more. What you need to do is, if you can, go to the doctor. They will prescribe you topical steriod creams. Its what im on. It clears my skin no redness no dryness no itchiness. I hope you start feeling better.
