How do I get rid of a hand eczema?

I have had a type of hand eczema for about two months now and have gone to the doctor multiple times. There is small fluid filled bumps on the palm and fingers. Also, it is rather itchy and is quite dry and peeling. They have prescribed antibiotics; Novo-Cloxin for five days and Novo-Clindamycin for fifteen days. After I started the second one, it seemed to be getting better, but then did not fully heel. Whenever I put hand cream on, it gets red and inflamed. There is also some on the tops of my toes, which has mostly heeled, but not fully gone away. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Glad you visited your doctor about this.  About the only thing I have to offer is an over the counter product I like.  I heard about it from a dermatologist doing a radio show on eczema and bought some.  I do love it and makes a huge difference for me.  It's an Aveeno product called Eczema Therapy itch relief balm.  It was not the cheapest at 17 dollars for an 11 oz tub but it lasts.  It definitely helped me with itchy skin problems.  Bought it at Walgreens but am sure other pharmacies and food centers sell it.
