Blood Thiners & Quitting Smoking

I wanted to share my experience with eczema; I have had it for years on my left ear. I have been treated with many steroid creams, ear drops, lotions there was nothing left to do but live with it, I kept peeling the dry skin off, 10 days ago I had a stroke they found that I did not get enough blood to the left back part of my brain, so now I take blood thinners and I also quit smoking 10 days ago and my blood supply has improved to that area, within 3 days off being treated with blood thinners and stopped smoking my eczema has disappeared my skin feels completely normal, no more itching, red flaking skin. I have not told my doctor that my eczema is gone, but I wanted to share my experience with you. Now the only 2 things that changed with me was: 
1) I stopped smoking, I don't know if everybody that has eczema smokes.
 
 2) I am taking blood thinners which restore my blood supply to the left back of my brain.
 
 I don't know which one did it, but maybe this can help you look into different areas of research.
 
Thank you
