Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

A good cream used for eczema is hydrocortisone cream. You can find it otc in pharmacy. Apply it three times daily over skin.

In XXXXXXX you can find different creams and moisturising lotions such dermacalm or Healthe cream.
In my opinion hydrocortisone works best.

Brief Answer:
You should not use it in continuance.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and thank you for asking again.
Eczema is a disease which is not treated forever but it is characterised by remissions and exacerbations.
Hydrocortisone cream will help you have a revision for some time.
You can use it for a week or two but not in continuance.
You will not need it anymore for months or even a year.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Best regards.
