eczema

anyone here have it? know someone who has it? knows how to clear it up/stop it itching?

i cant really complain i dont have it half as bad as people i know, but its still not nice to deal with, it doesnt cover my body and luckily my face is eczema free (but not soft and lovely) my hands were too until recently..

i get it in patches of scabs, really hard to explain but its in patches on places like my side, under my arms just above my bum where my pants sit i do have it all over my legs too but thats more of a itch then i end up with a chicken scratch. 
for the past year or so its been there constantly, i can usually clear it up and it will stay gone for weeks, but lately it just wont budge, i have tried all sorts of creams, fucibet, elocon, hydrocortisone, but these are just thinning my skin making it worse when it does return. i will admit i do scratch it, its actually a good stress relief but then i regret it, but if i had something to stop the itch id be okay, i do moisturise and also use liquid paraffin in my bath, dont use soap, havent changed soap powder etc..

as for my finger.. ive attached a pic so you can see it, pic doesnt do it any justice it looks alot worse than it does in the pic.. does it look like eczema or dermatitis??

i will have to go to the drs about it, just to be told ive got shaving rash on my fingers haha!! but i think im also going to ask to be referred to a skin specialist, someone who knows what im talking about
