Sophie, it's horses for courses. For me the herbal anti-eczema cream and spray combo from http://www.champori.com worked the best.

I found relief for my little spots of eczema by using Eucerin (in a tub) and drinking plenty of water and forcing myself to relax. I seem to get it during the winter months and when I'm stressed. Bag balm also works well, it comes in a metal tin at some drug stores, Walmart and some hardware/farming stores.
My best advice to you is to try a variety of remedies and see what works for you because there's no one cure all for eczema.

first of all, the use of an all natural skin care moisturizer will be very helpful. have a talk with a skin care expert about recommended products. if you want to avoid skin from scarring better try to avoid scratching the skin for a break in the skin can cause secondary skin infections. stop eczema itching by getting the skin moisturized. and you better keep fingernails short for you might forget sometimes that you have accidentally scratch it. remember that a break in the skin can cause a secondary infection.
try also avoiding a lot of things that can trigger eczema like:
- avoid perfumed skin care and body care products
- avoid extreme hot and cold weather conditions
- avoid keeping fingernails long
- avoid scratching the affected area
- avoid long baths
- avoid processed foods and foods with preservatives
- avoid skin irritants and allergens like dusts and pollens
- avoid clothes and material that are rough, course, scratchy and tight
- avoid activities that can make you sweat
- avoid smoking and alcohol
try to be gentle with your skin. visit http://www.skinoriginal.com for more tips on how to rejuvenate skin.

Here is a list of do's and don'ts that I hope you will find helpful.
Things not to do:-
Don't use biological powders
Don't use fabric softeners
Don't use soap or detergents to wash with
Don't use standard shower gels or bath additives
Things to do :-
Try Fairy Snow -the old fashioned powder
Use dryer balls
Use a soap free cleanser to wash hands etc.
Use a moisturising shower gel like Oilatum
Use a moisture bath additive like Aveeno
Use a good moisturiser like Aveeno
Use it very frequently, you can't over-moisturise!
Use antihistamines for itch, a non sedative one like loratidine in the morning and a sedative one such piriton at night.
You may need to use steroids creams/ointments for flare up areas. Use the mildest you can, for the shortest time possible.
Sorry if you knew all of that already :-(
