Make good use of creams containing hydrocortisone. A 1% solution will help ease itching. You can use this type of preparation two or three times a day for a week. Be careful not to overuse it because it is a steroid. Using it for too long could be unsafe.
Avoid soaps. Soap is a very alkaline substance that is not suitable for sensitive skin. If you do not feel like water gets you clean enough, try a cleanser with a neutral pH balance. Soaps with added fragrance are even worse for your skin when you suffer from eczema.
Avoid feather pillows and opt for a pillow that is less likely to attract and keep dust mites. Foam pillows may be a better choice for you and you can also invest in pillowcases that help keep dust, dust mites and allergens from getting into the pillow in the first place.
You definitely want to be sure that you're moisturizing your skin often, at least three times daily. This is necessary not only for the skin that is dry and itchy but also for other skin areas for a prevention method. Be sure that you select a moisturizer that does not contain added chemicals, so go all-natural, and get an unscented product as well.
