What Could Reddish And Scaly Patches On The Face In Patients With A History Of Eczema Suggest?

I have got some round small ish patches of skin which are red and scaly on my body but now have one on my face which is weeping slightly after having washed my face. They are also itchy. I ve had eczema in the past but I m not sure if this is the same. The ones on my body didn t react much to steroid cream and are taking a long time to heal
