    Okay, if you have had dermatitis it is possible you have a skin issue, or, you are doing something with regularity that is causing your skin to have problems, This can be something such as using a fairly strong shower gel that is causing an imbalance for your skin on occasions, or something like a strongly scented soap. If you suspect these, swap to a more skin-friendly wash.

    The eczema is an autoimmune condition, and this means this could break out anywhere on your skin.

    I think you are going to have to experiment a little - shift back to the clothing you were wearing for work previously, change what you are washing or showering with and see what happens

      Thank you. So i'm now wearing looser pants and i was feeling better. first time back in the gym last night and it is a little itchy. it might be my skin condition. i just wanted to make sure it doesnt look and wasnt an STD/STI.

      If your asking the question, and you think you may have been at risk - go get tested, that is the ONLY way to be sure
