Hello,Thanks for writing to health care magic.
Detergents and soaps causes loss of skin hydration.This causes itching and cracks over skin leading to eczema.Maintaning skin hydration is very important.Apply a good emollient cream daily after bath.You can use cetaphil mosturizing cream.Apply it two to three times daily.In case when there is severe itching you can use a steroid cream like betnovate.
Hope this will help you.Take care.
