A lot of eczema is due or is made worse by chronic dry skin that people have no idea how to treat!
Get a tub of Cetaphil skin cream and when you come out of the shower dont towel off, just brush off large water droplets with your hands then take a good handful of cream and apply it everywhere while you're still half wet. Really rub it in and sit naked for a while to let it dry. This should lock in plenty of moisture and help the eczema big time. Do this daily. Also, stop using soap! Get a soap alternative called Spectro jel.
Most hydrocortisone cream is very mild. The steriods aren't going to harm you at 2% or whatever. But if you really want something that will put a halt on the eczema, at least for a while, get a prescription for Protopic or Elidel. Yea, some lab apes developed skin cancer from it at high dosages, but the shit will stop skin problems after a few days. It is really that crazy. If I had eczema on my face or I was very uncomfortable I'd definitely consider getting some Protopic. Do some research on treatment risks/success.
