I do not recommend that you surgically interfere with the skin which was the site of eczema, unless it has been inactive for a long time. This is because: 1. Over a period of time, the post inflammatory pigmentation will gradually fade away on its own. 2. Eczema may recur, again and again over a considerable period of time. Surgery will not correct this tendency.
