I certainly understand why you are curious karenamara. I've never seen any eczema rash like his photo; it's so symmetrical. Also most eczema itches and may also be painful. It doesn't appear to scab. . Does it come and go? It looks more like he is leaning against something that leaves an imprint or was run over by a tire! Does he sit in the same chair he did since he was a teen? Very peculiar.
