Hi!

I'd think no makeup unless you're very sure what you're using is not going to irritate your skin. Did you have eczema from young? If not, it could be a case of irritant contact dermatitis where prolonged exposure with irritants lead to rashes.. so maybe consider a patch test to see what irritate you and from there, choose products you can use?

Take care!

Hey, I'm male and 18 and have eczema pretty much all over but really bad on my face, all I can advise is to check with your doctor about if makeup does irritate it (although I doubt it does personally)

From personal experience I know how it can cause you to feel self conscious but just do what you are happy with, if you want to cover up then there is absolutely nothing wrong with that! I have to lather my face in creams before I'm confident to leave the house, if however you are happy without makeup then thats great too, just do what makes you happy and not anybody else! :)
