If you have eczema, I would try replacing all your soaps, shower gels etc. with soap substitutes such as Doublebase http://www.diomed.co.uk/dermal-laboratories/hcp-resource/products1/doublebase-range.ashx
The problem with the normal soaps and shower gels is that the detergents in them make the skin less of a barrier to allergens which then trigger eczema flare- ups. Once something has triggered a flare up, it can take 3 months for the skin to recover. Shampoo is a bit difficult to replace but wearing barrier gloves whilst shampooing and ensuring none of the lather runs on to the rest of the body is helpful.
Obviously following the usual advice about frequent, liberal applications of emollients will help.
