Re: Dyshidrotic eczema
I was interested by your question so did some investigation and found a very informative blog at https://curedmyeczema.wordpress.com/2015/09/23/i-cured-my-eczema/ There seems to be a variety of trigger foods. I advise wearing disposable gloves to peel your potatoes! Try to use a more oil based (such...

Re: Topical cream not working
If topical treatments do not work for you, then you can try getting a laser treatment using pulsed dye laser (PDL). I would recommend PDL over the use of Intense Pulsed Light (IPL). You may have to search further for a laser centre with PDL... depending on where you live.

Re: rosacea or not?
Once you have a diagnosis from a clinical professional, then I can recommend pulsed dye laser. But you might want to try some topical creams first.

Re: Scleroderma & Telengasia
I assume that you have been diagnosed and are being cared for by your GP or hospital, in which case they will have prescribed medicines for your various symptoms. However, it is important to moisturise areas of hard skin to keep them supple. Use whatever moisturiser suits your skin (& budget, no...

Re: How can you tell you have skin cancer?
The only way is to see a dermatologist or skin specialist. You will have to get a referral from your GP. Some GPs have special interest in dermatology and may be able to help you at the appointment.

Re: SPF
Have you visited your GP to perform a patch allergy test? You may not be allergic to all SPF? If you are, then I should imagine that there will always be product (I assume you mean moisturisers etc.) that will not contain SPF, especially as it is known that some people are allergic to SPF. Where the...

Re: Dark spots: what can I use?
"Dark spots" is a little vague. Do you mean sun spots caused by sun damage? If so, then Q-switched laser is an extremely effective treatment. However without seeing the spots, I cannot make an informed comment. It may be prudent to get a diagnosis from your GP before seeking the solution.

Re: Itchy pain - what is it?
It is hard to say what this might be without more information. I would suggest going to your GP as there may be an underlying cause that needs medical treatment. It may be an allergic reaction or something related to your hair follicles. Have you recently changed any brand of beauty/hygiene product ...
