Hi.
It depends on whether it is acute or chronic. If the skin is thickened then salicylic acid is better and when secondary infection is present then fusidic acid cream is given.

Eczema's will work well with Anti inflammatory medication. But corroborate the same with pictures. Keep the skin well hydrated and avoid OTC products. Consult a Dermatologist for he same.
