During a "flare-up" you can try 1% Hydrcortozone Cream, this is safe enough to use on any area of your body (we use it on our 14 month olds cheeks), but you DO NOT want to use it for more than 5-7 days as it makes your skin very thin & then prone to tearing & infections! If that does not work your doctor can prescribe a 2% cream however that cannot be used on the face. During "flare-ups" you may want to switch (or add to your routine) a thicker, creamier lotion such as Cetaphyl or Eucerin (both are quite costly though). Two very helpful products we have found (either available from a dermatologist's office or over the internet) are Robathol, an oil you put in your bathwater when your skin is extremely dry & sensitive (we switched my son's bath from Johnson & Johnson's to Robathol & both my husband & I shower with Robathol) & to follow-up the bath, Vanicream, a lotion you can apply to your entire body (it's nice & thick like Vaseline, which our dermatologist also recommended) but it does not have that icky smell, nor is it greasy & it absorbs into your skin, so you can put clothing on over it rather quickly. We found these on the internet cheaper than the doctor's office.....I googled the names of the products but settled on the national allergy supply company for both of them! Something we have found quite helpful if your Eczema happens to be on your hands or feet is to coat them with a very thick cream or Vaseline & for your hands wear cotton gloves or socks on them while you sleep, for your feet (especially if the heels seem to crack open) give them a nice thick coat of something, your choice, then wrap saran wrap around them, sealing in the cream & all moisture, secure it with some masking tape, then slide a sock over it. It gets a little hot and uncomfortable but after a few nights there is a tremendous difference.
Hope that was helpful. It's pretty much all over-the counter with the exception of the 2% cream, however I personally think a prescription I have is the absolute best to wiping out a flare-up, usually in one treatment, I get a huge jar for my $20.00 co-pay & it lasts me about a year!
The following are additional suggestions from Wiki s contributors:My sister eczema really bad all over her hands, and a lot of the doctor prescribed medications were only providing temporary relief. She them started using a great natural remedy known as Argan oil. Within a week of using the Argan oil she saw amazing results. She only used deodorized Argan oil for her treatment because she said the natural "nutty" odor was to strong for her. It contains a lot of anti-inflammatory agents which is why it is so effective in the treatment of eczema. This should help you with preventing the eczema and Allergies turning into infintigo.

Eczema is a chronic skin condition categorized by recurrent rashes that leave the skin dry, inflamed, itchy, swollen, flakey and sometimes blistered. People who suffer from eczema need to make an extra effort to take care of their skin. Eczema should be kept moisturized, soothed and protected from allergens. Failing to take care of eczema can cause the condition to worsen or trigger an irritating flare up.Why Medicated Eczema Creams May Not Be the Safest ChoiceCurrently, there are two medicated eczema creams that have been approved by the FDA: pimecrolimus and tacrolimus. Both of these creams contain powerful immunosuppressant drugs called calcineurin inhibitors. Because these drugs have been found to cause cancer in rare cases, the FDA warned patients against their long term use in 2006. To lessen the risk of side effects, calcineurin inhibitors are usually only used to control severe flare ups in patients over two years old.How to Choose the Most Effective Over-the-Counter Eczema CreamWhile a prescription eczema cream can be used to treat severe flare ups, most patients will need a gentler cream for everyday use. When dealing with eczema, one of the most important things is to keep the skin moisturized. To find a moisturizing lotion, look for those that contain rich oils, humectants and natural extracts. Avoid lotions that are primarily composed of water as these lotions can be overly drying.It is also important to choose lotions that are free of certain irritants like fragrances and harsh preservatives. Instead of these irritating ingredients, look for an eczema cream that contains soothing ingredients like aloe, chamomile, vitamins and antioxidants. Some popular choices for eczema include Nutraderm, Eucerin, Lubriderm and Nivea. However, there are hundreds of creams that can be used by eczema patients.To control bouts of severe rash, over-the-counter corticosteroid creams can also be used to control inflammation, itching and irritation. More serious cases of eczema can also be treated with prescription corticosteroid creams. Still, while steroid creams can be beneficial, regularly hydrating the skin with a gentle moisturizer is the best way to control eczema on a day-to-day basis.
There are many over the counter remedies that may help such as cortisone cream. Make sure to keep the skin moist by putting on an emollient (the best would be Vanicream or Vaseline) immediately after bathing. Use gentle soaps, shampoos, and detergents. If none of this helps, you should see a dermatologist.
