hello and welcome to health care magic,
im dr satya.
regarding your problem you said you had eczema, since child hood, from 5 till now. eczema has a seasonal a seasonal variation and i would like to know more details about the same.
dried cracked skin patches may also indicate an abnormality in the moisture content of the skin.
Also the areas mentioned by you indicate the regions which are rich in seborric glands. all of these have to be taken into consideration to evaluate your case.
