I find keeping my skin moist helps more than anything and although I'm not sure if it helps eczema per se, I find aloe gel to be great for relieveing any general irritation on my skin.

good point that i forgot to mention. I use all nonscented soaps, shampoos, moisturizers, etc. Everything as plain as possible. As well as keeping the water softener topped up.

In humid, sunny places it goes away quite a bit as well. Even just living in London, Ontario was making it easier for me to deal with the skin.
