Do you have a Lush store near you? They do Dream Cream which is fantastic. My daughter has eczema quite badly and has to have coal tar treatments. When the worst has cleared up, I use Dream Cream on the residual sore and flaky skin and it comes up a treat. It is far better than the heavy duty moisturises that a doctor prescribes such as diprobase etc.
The other thing to think about is dairy produce. Cows milk products aggravate my daughter's eczema. She drinks Goats milk and eats Goats milk cheese, butter, yoghurt etc. Apparently Goats milk is lower in an enzyme which can aggravate eczema in certain people.
