Should I go to work tomorrow?!?
I was signed off by the doctor for a week on Monday due to a severe eczema flare up on the face and a face infection (on my lips)
It has improved a lot to what it was. I told my boss I got signed off and he wasn't happy. I've still got a lot of slits around my mouth, although it isn't as bad before I am worried I will risk infecting it again by going to work.... But I feel awful about not going and I need the money.
What should I do?

Eczema is a general term used to describe varying skin conditions that result in inflamed and discolored skin. There is no cure, but figuring out what causes it to flare up and treating the symptoms is usually the course of action to take. Read here https://tr.im/uYf1E
Typically the skin is red, dry, inflamed, and occasionally blisters or crusts form. The term eczema is often times used interchangeably with the term dermatitis, which literally translates to “inflamed skin.”
There are many types of eczema, but the most common type is atopic eczema. Thought to be hereditary and triggered by allergens, atopic eczema is most common in children, but can reappear during adult years.

Angular Cheilitis:
A deficiency of B2, Riboflavin. Very common on a modern Western diet. Don’t be a vegetarian! Don’t drink any kind of soda, cola, fizzy pop drinks.
This is frequently the cause of 'face eczema'. And is unlikely to be infected. Please try it, it is a cheap cure.
Take 1 x B2 and 1x multi-B tablet for a week, then once a week thereafter.
