Suggest Treatment For Eczema In Hands

I have had eczema on my hands for the last 2 weeks. I am taking a high potency steroid cream to get it under control. but now in the last 2 hours I have a rash on the inside of my right arm - the forearm area, the elbow area and up by the armpit area. It is also on the inside left forearm and on top of the hands. It is red and feels tight like a sunburn.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per your case history of Eczema, my treatment advice is:
1. Do not scratch the lesion as it may worsen the condition.
2. Apply a mild topical steroid cream like Mometasone cream on the lesions.
3. Take an antihistamine medicine like Levocetirizine for 7 to 10 days.

If the problem persists, then consult a Dermatologist.
