Who diagnosed you with eczema? It is doubtful that would happen suddenly like that. More likely you have experienced a rash of some sort. Whatever it is you need to contact your gp to discuss. It could be due to inhaler - in which case you might need to change to something else. Or it could be total coincidence and there is another cause for the rash.

I would contact your hospital team who give you Fasenra and let them know. They can advise whether it could be a side effect of the Fasenra, in which case they need to know and can advise further. You'll probably have better luck with them knowing vs your GP as Fasenra is a specialist drug given by specialist teams. If they don't think it's related, then you could ask your GP as Bevvy suggests.
