Is this eczema, according to GP it is ?

Hi All

I've got red marks, slightly raised on top of hands, that's blue ink in the photo of my hand (old tattoo) but you can clearly see the red marks and this spreads right across this hand, there's a few marks on other hand and the rest are all scattered around my legs which I've tried to show in the attached image. The largest mark, fingerprint size was the first I noticed several months ago and a few after that noticed my hand, they have increased in quantity on my legs, some are very small dot like masses. They don't itch, some come & go and are better or worse each day with no set pattern.

My GP has had a look, first off I sent photos and he suggested a virus or scabies! He gave me two lots of cream, one I use and the other is a steroid which reluctantly I've started to use now. When he called other day I told him I still had the marks so got an appointment and went down the surgery, he was only concerned about one mark thinking possible cancer, but it was fine. Hence I ask if any of you agree with his final diagnoses of eczema ? I have many health issues, chronic diseases and just recently possible Afib picked up from implanted loop recorder.

I might look for another opinion as eczema is associated with an itch that can become unbearable.
