I would KILL to have your skin hunny and im sure many others would too. Theres more important things to be worrying about than a a few lil blemishes. It really pisses me off when girls are like "ohh no a blemish I NEED TO HIDE FOR A WEEK!" and i see you are a beautiful girl with and without makeup.
So please stop worrying.. im sure you'll find a product that will make your skin look even clearer but you need to realise theres people out there who have dramatically bad skin.
And theres this guy who lives in my town and he has a tumor in his face so one side of his face is huge and everybody laughs at him, it actually makes me think "why do i even worry about my skin when people have worse problems?"

There is nothing wrong with someone asking for advice for a skin issue they are having, no matter how insignificant it may seem to
you. If you cannot offer advice, you're not helping by telling her she shouldn't worry about it and not to "cry" about it. Just because she doesn't have severe acne doesn't mean that her skin issues don't bother her or can cause insecurity. I'm not trying to be harsh but I think your post was a bit rude. People come here for advice, not to be told their problems or issues are insignificant.
Now, as for the original post -
It doesn't look like eczema to me personally and also you don't say it is itchy which is usually what eczema feels like, but it's a bit hard to tell from the pics. Have you changed anything lately in your skincare routine that could be causing some kind of allergic reaction? Sometimes you can narrow down products. Also, have you changed or started a new birth control pill? Sometimes the different hormones can cause blemishes. When I started on the Alesse Pill, I got lots of little break-outs on my face, when usually my skin is clear.
Also, Did you use BE before, or did you just start? BE irritated my skin, you could be having a reaction to the bismuth it contains, I know it irritates a lot of people, that's why I stopped using it.
Also if your skin is really irritated and dry, I would stop with the acne products, they tend to be really harsh and drying. I'd opt for gentle, perfume-free, ph neutral alkaline-free cleansers and creams from lines like Cetaphil, Eucerin, and La Roche Posay. They were made for sensitive skin and have a variety of good products for different skin types. La Roche Posay are a bit on the pricier end but I have not been disappointed with their products.
Hope that helps, let us know if you find out something that works.
