Is it possible to develop eczema at 22 years?
I noticed earlier this winter my thighs itched really bad, and so did my stomach whenever I laid down for bed. So after listening to people’s suggestions I started using baby oil. My skin does not itch as much, but my lower abdomen is flaky and my sides are dry (like you can see lines or something). And lately I cannot seem to wash my face without it breaking out. I now resort to not washing my skin and only using clearasil wipes (which has worked to clear me up). Is it possible for someone to develop eczema as an adult? What can I do to relieve the itching (if I forget my baby oil my skin itches moderately). What about the dryness feeling on the sides of my abdomen? Or the breaking out on my face. PS I noticed the baby oil has started to cause me to break out on my chest, so now it is only applied on my abdomen legs and arms. And speaking of acne, I developed the acne before I developed the dry skin.

Yes of course. Eczema is a cause of dry skin. So when you have dry skin, you have high chances of developing eczema as well.

yes.
I had mild (and I mean barely noticeable) eczema for years. When I was in High School I got a skin infection that flared my eczema up also. Even after the infection was gone, the eczema remained and it was severe. I was sent to many Many specialists, and it seems there is no end in sight. So the answer is yes, you can develop it late in life. Go to a dermatologist and have the eczema cultured. If there is an infection, than perhaps anti-biotics will alleviate the Eczema.
WARNING- If it is an infection then heed my advice; My first dermo didn’t completely kill the infection which caused it to become resilient. Make sure your dermo KILLS IT. Tell them to overdo it on the antibiotics.
