If it continues you need to see a dermatologist about it and ass far a moisturizer my soon doc said when he washes his face he should use a moisturizing soap like Aveeno and tap face dry then use a small dab of Aquaphor and always do so after shower so skin does not dry out.hope this helps  :-)

I have eczema, don't really get it on my face except above my lip but its good to use soaps that do not have any fragrance (I use Dove Sensitive Skin) & use a really good moisturizer that will really lock in moisture & for that I use Ecerin Daily Moisturizer which you can get at any drugstore. Hope that helps.

But yea if it continues or spread anywhere else see a dermatologist so they can prescribe ointment to help take care of it.

Make sure its eczema not rosacia first of all. Either way try lush products. They are all natural and allergen free.

The SOOTHE regimen by Rodan + Fields Dermatologists is great and works wonders on dry, red, sensitive skin - including rosacea and eczema!

I have eczema on my face and my face is very sensitive. I have been to countless dermatologists and I know a lot of people swear by cetiphil but it about the worst thing I've ever tried on my face. I currently wash my face with a gentle face wash and I use cere va lotion

Cetaphil is recommended for eczema skin and the formula is good enough to use in the face its very moisturizing but does not dry you out

I have eczema around my nose and its very red. I went to the doctor about a year ago and he gave me a cream. I use it often but it doesn't seem to work at all. It only whitens up the area around the red and makes my nose look paler then the rest of my face. No joke. It's completely white. So no matter what season it always stays. I use aveeno sensitive skin fragrance free lotion on my face but that does nothing for it either. So I can't help u out here. Sorry.

I have eczema as well just slightly. A few spots here and there but I refuse to go to the dermatologist because it's not so bad where I will be put on the steroid creams to treat it. Soooo.. I started trying all drugstore eczema creams and none of them worked. They made my skin itchier and just left thick residue. I ended up finding Dermarest Eczema at CVS and its been my life saver. My skin is completely under control with it!

Vanicream is a good lotion prescribed to people with eczema because it helps get rid of the irritation and dry patchy areas of the skin

Use olive oil at night then wash your face with sensitive skin soap or baby soap my little brother had eczema really bad to the point where is start to turn black on color and it was thick we would put olive oil on it and it would begin to go away and olive oil won't clog your pores :)

Dermasil is great and over the counter,contains rose oil which is great for soothing skin.Or try Egyptian Magic cream(whole foods or online)
