Neck & Chest Eczema coupled with a rash?

I was recently diagnosed with Eczema. The area is the base of my neck to my upper chest. When the symptoms surfaced the area was very itchy and burning. Also, welt like areas raised. During this flare I also had a rash on both feet, both wrists and both inner thighs that I thought was petichie. I’ve attached a picture of what the rash looked like. Well, I finally got an appointment with my dermatologist after having a second episode of the neck symptoms I showed him the pictures and he said it was eczema?! Is this common to have a rash in other parts of the body that don’t itch and aren’t raised. The rash cleared after a a week or so but I did have that rash several times previously. Just wondering if the doctor is just ignoring those pictures and just diagnosed eczema from what he saw on my neck?

Hi Ktpse1961

Apologies but in my reply to your post on 25 October I inadvertently provided you with the link to the wrong support programme. I meant to provide you with the link to mydryskin free support programme, which is here https://bit.ly/2Q9SYL2.

Apologies for the confusion.

Kind regards
