I've been dealing with eczema on my right leg since 2011, and it's been really frustrating. It itches all the time and the scratching has left these dark, patchy marks that just won't go away. It's dry eczema, and as far as I know, I'm not allergic to anything, so I'm really puzzled about what's causing it. It's only on my leg, and steroids and moisturizers haven't been helping at all. What can I do to cure it?

I'm dealing with mild acne and my dermatologist put me on a sebamed facewash and nioret nanogel for nighttime use. He also recommended the ansolar gel cream sunscreen, but it's quite pricey.
