arring better try to avoid scratching the skin for a break in the skin can cause secondary skin infections.  stop the itch and prevent eczema from flaring up by getting the skin naturally moisturized. and better keep fingernails short for you might forget sometimes that you have accidentally scratch it.  

try also avoiding a lot of things that can trigger eczema like:

Hi,

It sounds to me that you are using the wrong cream!!

Don't use it anymore and go back to your docter, this is not normal

Please visit a docter as soon as possible!

Part of the problem is excessive dryness. I was told this buy my doctor when I had active eczema. The act of taking moisture (washing your hands) and lotioning them again (replacing moisture) is part of the problem. Maybe try using purelle (which works better than hand soap) till the rash is gone. Constantly keep your hands moisturized, maybe get one of the moisture gloves for you hands. Certain types of lotions are good for eczema too.

Keep trying different creams, there is one out there that is right for you.
