Does acne itch or do I have eczema?

It could be acne but due to infection which may explain the itch. If you have both acne and other skin issues such as psoriasis like myself i have found the best solution to be this; -take 1 tablet of folic acid a day (everyday for the rest of your life - but don't worry they are like vitamins and not expencive) I read somewhere that ppl with psoriasis use twice the amount of folic acid as normal, so the skin does not have enough of it to fight infections and keep psoriasis in check. Maybe it is the same with exema? I was a long term sufferer of acne and after a couple of months of folic acid my skin was smooth. -Also cut out coffee and coke! Hope this helps!
