Hello, I would like to know if melatonin could cause exzema.

Hello

Melatonin does not cause the aggravation of eczema as such
Where are the lesions located? In the same place as usual, but more intense?
Have you started heating the house? Have you changed your soap or other products?

Hello, the lesions are always in the same place yes. In the joints, neck and thighs, stomach
but more intense yes
No, no new soap or heating..

If melatonin is the only identifiable change you could try a few days off. However, there are times when the eczema intensifies and we are not able to identify the cause. Stress can also be a factor or the cold
I suggest you apply cortisone regularly and moisturizer more often. Hydration is the key!
