The main cause of eczema is overreaction of the immune system. Identifying certain foods, chemicals, etc can be very helpful in battling this disease. I try to avoid soy and milk products which trigger my flare-ups.
After using number of prescription drugs I've turned to the natural treatments.
Now I use herbal remedies from serenaskin.com, which aim at the root of the disease - the immune system, and are steroid-free.
After about 2 weeks of using ointment and spray my skin has been cleared up and now I just continue with anti-eczema extract, which controls the immune system. My skin has been clear for months now.
It is the only treatment I have found that provides me complete relief when I use it as directed.

I've heard that Udderly smooth cream is helpful. I find Aquafor to be a lifesaver when I have cracked, painful skin. It restores cracked skin almost overnight to regular skin. I have psoriasis, not eczema, but I would bet it would help. The two conditions are somewhat similar and people often mix them up.
For me, vitamins don't generally work. Lotions do the most good. You'll get people trying to get you to spend lots of money on various vitamins, but I have never found that to be helpful. Just taking a regular multivitamin is plenty.
My dermatologist has prescribed a cream, as well. If nothing else works, that is a possibility--see what your doctor says.
