Stasis eczema is primarily due to varicose veins (Dialated leg veins).. so you will have to check that first because if you dont treat preexisting varicosities then eczema will recur.
For your current situation a course of antibiotics and usage of steroid-antibiotic cream may help. Keep your legs about 6-8 inches above your body level when you sleep and avoid standing or walkng for long hrs.
