how to relief eczema

i’ve had eczema since i could ever remember and for a long period of time it’s gone away. recently it’s come back and it’s in small dry patches which is such a bitch cuz i could accidentally touch it and an frenzied itch would start. i know that there’s no cure but what’s u guyses experiences with relieving it. i had steroid creams but i try to only use it when i rllt need it otherwise it tends to not work too well if i use it too much. But if there’s foods/things i should avoid etc id love to know but mainly things i can do myself rather than relying on meds/creams
