Hi thanks for the query..eczema is only a descriptive word like how we have fever a descriptive word..so by doing a skin Biopsy we need to ascertain what eczema your father has.based  on the histological diagnosis we can  tell prognosis of the eczema.visit a dermatologist. Don't depend on internet always.
Next Steps
visit a dermatologist to seek help
