Hello,

As per your case history of eczema, my treatment advice is - 
1. Don't scratch the lesion as it may worsen the condition. 
2. Take food rich in vitamin A and take a vitamin A supplement once daily for three months. 
3. Don't worry about steroid as the topical steroid will not cause many side-effects. 
If the problem persists, then consult a dermatologist

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