what about the purple/red mark in between the breasts? is that eczema ? is it bleeding from tiny blood vessels?
Brief Answer:
Regarding skin eczema
Detailed Answer:
hi.
Seems like it could be an eczema resulting in pigmentation. I suggest you to try a moderately potent topical steroid e.g either mometasone furoate cream or triamcinolone acetonide cream, twice daily for a few days.
Take care.
