Doctor visit: Need to have visual exam of the skin. Hydrocortisone is OTC you may need to have a stronger medication or topical moisturizer to help. Also need labs hypothryoidism can present with dry flaky skin. Get a check up and labs from a primary care doctor or a dematologist who is a skin specialist.

Eczema: If hydrocortisone and moisturizing creams ( hypoallergenic/fragrance free) are not helping then please consult a physician to verify diagnosis .
