Recent heat might be making hands more sweaty/clammy, so acting up more. I've noticed it as well. In fact, i've seen a couple spots up the hand/arm these past weeks.
Things I do:
-use hydrating soap
-Eucerin hand cream for when it acts up
-lotion to moisturize when dry, but watch what you use, cause it might end up irritating the skin and making it worse
-if it gets itchy, do your best not to scratch, cause that'll also make it worse
I use Vaseline Extremely Dry Skin Rescue, but this is only for when the skin is dry/cracked. For the eczema, you'll want something to deal with it specifically.
Also same for me, left hand is generally fine.

I use Eucerin Healing OINTMENT, slap on gloves and let it soak overnight. It's practically like vaseline, thick and oily so you won't really be touching things throughout the day, but this has helped immensely with my dry cracked hands throughout the years.
None of the other creams worked for me - OKeefes, Glysomed, Aveeno.
