Doc explained that people with eczema generally have more issues in the winter because of the lack of moisture in the air. He recommended soaking the affected area for 20 min/day then an immediate application of Vaseline to trap the water into my skin. He also prescribed a cream but I haven't picked it up yet so I don't have the name.

And I have a small patch on the back of my left hand. I'll try your doc's suggestion today and see it it helps. it's so frustrating.
