Is my eczema returning?

I used to have eczema as a child but now in my 40s I have a horrible feeling it has come back again on my elbows – would you suggest I see a doctor or just treat with a standard cream to see what happens? I know it can come back as an adult but is it normal for it to come back so late? Thanks (Sarah)

I am sorry to hear that you are having trouble with your skin. I would recommend seeing your GP for further assessment. They will be able to provide information regarding the diagnosis and recommend appropriate treatment.
