Go to a dermatologist as indicated above. I've fought eczema for a couple of years. I just went last month to a dermatologist who subscribed a cortico-steroid cream and within 3 weeks of applying as prescribed, it is more or less completely gone.
I don't know how much of it has to do with any curative properties of the cream or the not scratching factor, but the cream really helps with the itch (and when you do scratch you're constantly reminded not to because the stuff is extremely greasy). I've been off the cream for about a week and the skin, though still slightly rough in one of the areas, has completely healed and the itching is gone. I imagine it will continue to get better as I'm not scratching anymore.
