I lived in multiple places in Texas had mysterious small skin lesions that took years to heal and left scars on my arm and neck and am now wondering if I actually had this and not a form of eczema. When I was googling the symptoms at the time, I would only find things saying eczema (which I have had forever but never had caused lesions before) or some psychological disease. All the GPs I showed them to blamed the eczema... but the lesions are now healed and I still have eczema.
- clumsysmurf 3y agoI had a similar experience, but in AZ. I was staying at an ESA (Extended Stay America) for a few weeks around the time of Covid lockdowns. I didn't have contact with many people at all, but did need to borrow the vacuum one day. Almost immediately, I developed "eczema" like skin problems all over my body ... back, chest, arms, legs, especially the legs. I still have two patches, after 3 years, that always itch. We have not gotten to the bottom of it yet (like you said, GPs blame eczema). I currently manage it with immune suppressing medications. I wonder if somehow I "caught it" from something emitted from the vacuum exhaust.
