Could IPL laser help the rash on my skin? (Photo)

Miami surgeryMar 9, 2019
Could the rash on my skin be eczema? Over the course of the winter, I have developed a rash on my face that seems to be getting worse. It started in the colder months with peeling and reddened nose and cheeks after a shower. It has slowly evolved to small reddened and raised bumps (worse after shower) that stay red all day. My skin is still peeling. I am no longer using any acids or anti aging on my skin at all. What could it be?
