Is it true people that have eczema are immune to acne?

my doctor told me i’m immune to acne because i have eczema.. is that true cause i dont have any pimples

Answer #1

i dont know where you heard this but its not true. My sister has extremely sever eczema and also gets really bad acne.

Answer #2

Immune? I thought eczema was a disease that brought intense amounts of blistering, rashes, irritation, and red marks in the skin? Which, would be the opposite. So very much no.

Answer #3

Nope. I sometimes get eczema and I also sometimes get acne.

Answer #4

but i have had eczema since i was born, and from what i was told, you have eczema til you die, it doesn’t come and leave, its there forever

Answer #5

eczema is when your skin is super dry, does she live where its wet or humid?

Answer #6

she could mean she has breakouts of eczema acting up and breakouts of acne.

Answer #7

we live in washington and it rains all the time but it has been bad ever since she was little and she suffered from terrible scars and her eczema is kind of unusual because she is allergic to so many different things it breaks out when she comes into contact with one of the things that make her break out.

Answer #8

yeah same here i live in NM and i’m allergic to everything, but i have no acne my doctor said the most pimples i can have at the same time is 2 or 3 tops and ive never had more than one so idk maybe its because i live in an arid climate

Answer #9

The only way to be immune from acne is to have non-porous skin since acne is dirt and bacteria that builds up in the skin pores. I guess maybe if you were covered 100% in eczema you would be immune.
