Flaxseed making my skin dry?

I used to take flaxseed around december to combat my extremely dry skin and eczema. I didnt see an improvement in texture and softnessbut my skin get covered in rashes like it usually does. Recently I started using a new lotion and my skin has been so much better. Its soft, glowy and smooth. Two days ago I found the flaxseed capsules I was taking and began taking them again. Last night before bed I noticed my skin went back to the way it was before. It was just plain rough and icky. Flawseed was the only addition to my diet so it has to be the culprit. Anyone else have this experience with flaxseed capsules?
