It's very stressing and depressing at the same time, all the doctor did was prescribe me some lotion which I put on most of the time through out the week. It helps for abit but it always comes back. I don't really wanna use cream or lotion for the rest of my life.

I'm a bit late to the party but....
My brother has had severe eczema since birth. He's 19 now and we have spent sooo much money trying to find different ways to help him. He's drank every possible Holistic Asian tea under the sun, from here in Vancouver and Hk and beyond. He's taken all the possible pills, tried all the DIY washes/baths. He's had a thorough allergen test done by a doctor (western practice) and a Chinese doctor (Holistic/Naturopath). He's used all the creams, solutions, and serums you can imagine.
The closest he has come is having less-severe eczema, and struggling to manage it. He has a strict diet (stays away from seafood, dairy etc.) though even he doesn't always think that's the issue.
SO ATTENTION!!!
frankbody || coffee scrub
I came across this body scrub a while back, and my brother uses it now. Don't be alarmed by it's marketing. Their target market is quite particular: women with stretch marks, rosacea, eczema etc. But if you look closely at their ingredients, it's gentle, all natural, and most of all, it really works. And an important factor when finding a product that works, especially if you have ongoing issues you want to deal with, like eczema, is to find one that suits your condition as well as your wallet! The Original Frank scrub (which is the one my brother is using) comes to about $17 CDN including shipping (to a States PO box).
I sound like an infomercial nut, but I swear to you, it actually moisturizes and smooths out your skin. My brother has used it twice now, and he said its helping calm the itchiness and redness. (He's more bothered about the redness and patchiness as well as itchiness than he is about the look of the dry skin itself). We've seen the long term effects from others that have used it, so he's really dedicated to trying it out indefinitely. I'll see if I can come back here in a week or two to show you the results.
if you don't believe me, have a look at their Frank Feedback Instagram.

I realize how difficult it is for me to not sound like a paid advertisement, but I've bought the bag, and personally used it twice now and those around me have begun using it as well. My bf has a dry skin condition on his face. My mom has a skin pigmentation on her face. My brother has hereditary eczema to the extreme. I speak from experience and say, this product is really worth a shot.

* my brother hates looking at skin condition pictures. It's one of his biggest pet peeves. I think it irks him too much cause it grosses him out. He's told me himself that looking at his own skin grosses him out. And as sad as that is, he's been hopeful after looking at the Frankfeedback Instagram. Personal testimonials to give him practical hope and not medical farce from doctor after doctor, year after year.
best of luck with tackling the eczema, I hope this works for you as well as it has for those around me.
