Avoid using lotions as they tend to dry out the skin - pat excess water from skin after moisturizing as rubbing irritates the skin - wear cotton clothing - avoid the use of detergents, fabric softeners and dryer sheets with perfumes and/or dyes There's a really great article on this website about how one woman with severe eczema was finally able to beat it: http://www.beateczema.com/?hop=4safetynow The best thing to do is to focus on treating the underlying cause of the eczema and minimize the flare ups by:

A Dr. would tell you to use a hydro-cortisone cream; you can find it in any drug store or supermarket. I prefer the creams over the ointments. Only use it as often as necessary for cortisone cream will begin to thin the skin with prolonged or excessive use. Eczema is a rash so a regular everyday unmedicated lotion wont treat it.

But i think that you should go to a local drug store and ask them if they sell anything on the shelves that will help treat your eczema. Hope this helps. everybody has a different strenght of eczema one of my family members has it and she uses a prescription for hers.
