garnier face scrub gave me eczema ?

i started using this garnier face scrub last year just before the summer because i have really oily skin and have quite a bit of acne, after about two months of using it religiously before i went to bed i started to notice that i was developing a rash on one side of my face, its just to the side of my nose on the front of my face, i didn't even think it could be the scrub i thought it was a reaction to the heat of the early summer months, even so i stopped using the scrub but now 8 months on i have still have a red rash there and the doctor have diagnosed it as eczema and ive been given steroid cream for it which has helped, just wondering if anyone has had this with a face scrub and continued to have eczema months and months after not using a drop of it ?

Face scrub, the type with the little bits, do irritate some people's skin and may lead to rashes. But whether it'd lead to a long-term eczema, I kind of don't think so.. maybe stay off all skincare products/ hair dyes for a while and see what happens?

take care,
