Hi,

For eczema or dermatitis topical steroid cream usually can be prescribed. In sever case oral or intravenous steroid also can be prescribed as like that in your case.The underlying precipitating allergen should be searched for and for that allergic testing can be beneficial.

So, it's advisable to consult good dermatologist or allergy specialist for physical examination and detailed evaluation.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
