Hi,
How are you? Are there other symptoms present?  I agree with bsmsl that skin lesions are best evaluated directly by your doctor for proper diagnosis. Aside from eczema, skin irritation and infection should also be ruled out. .The pimple with fluid may also be due to a folliculitis which responds well to warm compress and topical antibiotic. Have this checked by your doctor also. Direct clinical examination is important. Take care and best regards.

Hello and welcome to MedHelp.

It sounds like the eczema my kids had when they were little.  I suggest that you see your doctor for an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.  In the mean time, try to clean it very gently and pat dry.  

Let us know what your doctor says.

God bless.
