Scabs over body. Help please!?!
Question: My partner suffers from asthma eczema, and recently his body has broken out in scabs. It does not look like his usual eczema, what could this be? I have not changed any of my washing products. The scabs are on his face, arms and back. He is waiting for an appointment with the doc. Just was hoping somebody could enlighten me on what it might be!

Without seeing the scabs it is hard to tell. There are tons of skin conditions from chicken pox to impetigo that cause scabs or it could be just an exacerbation of his eczema. I hope it all turns out well.
It sounds like shingles, which I understand can develop if eczema is not remedied but instead exacerbated.
My suggestion is to nourish the skin by adding oatmeal, bananas, apples, and citrus to the diet regularly.
Considering the mind body connection, your partner may have something on their mind, which it would greatly help the skin condition to discuss.
The first aid I would render, is to chunk an apple, drizzle honey over it, and sprinkle with coconut and/or almonds. Then serve with toothpicks for eating. After 86 minutes, the condition should be improved, if not resolved.
Great luck!
