I had what i believed to be an eczema flare up, but my normal treatments don't seem to be working and it keeps spreading. what should i do?

See your doctor or a dermatologist for a stronger topical med +/- oral medication. Almost as important you should track down the precipitating factors such as foods, stress/anxiety and air humidity. Dry skin with low humidity exacerbates eczema itching and scratching. If that's the case, use skin moisturizer after shower, avoid bath tube, & use humidifier in your bedroom, keep humidity above 35.
