My mom has eczema.
She uses different things when she has flare ups which are always on her hands. She uses cortisone cream and one of the better things that doesnt have the side effects of thinning the skin is a natural type chapstick (like burts bees or blistex). Yes, chapstick straight onto the skin.
She tries to stay away from toughing things she's allergic to with her hands as well.
The biggest helper she's found so far is that she no longer washes her hands with scented soaps/detergents. She uses cetaphil hand cleanser and hasn't had a breakout in a long time.
