Atorvastatin side effects eczema

Hi all, I have been on atorvastatin 80mg for about 15 months following a heart attack and stents. It's give me eczema and I am wondering if anyone has experienced this, and more specifically has changing to a different statin helped anyone?

I also recently started on diltiazem (to replace nebivolol as this was causing asthma). Diltiazem was difficult at first (gave me strong palpitations for weeks) though seems fine now. NICE guidance says it increases statin effects so doses should be adjusted, and my atorvastatin dose has been kept as it was.

I have requested a med review (next week) but ahead of that, wondered what other peoples experiences are?

Thanks x
