Hello,

I can understand your concern for the eczema for last 3 years. After analyzing your query I can make out that the eczema part is getting lighter by the use of creams. Though you have not mentioned the contents of cream but in case if you are using a steroid based cream then must not use as a self application.
You can use a moisturizing cream to get the earliest of the relief which can be maintained for a long time without any side effect. In case if you feel any itching then must not scratch the area and can take an antihistamine such cetrizine. You will be alright soon.
All the best.
