Are you using gloves at the job and those are latex. Please try avoid latex gloves. Do not use too much hand soap and wash with too hot water. Then apply moisturizer. If you not feel better consult dermatologist.
Eczema needs maintenance therapy...its good u moisturise ur skin frequently.... but for itching u need to apply steroids diluted in vaseline. Apply betval ointment and petroleum jelly in 50:50 proportions on hands at bedtime ( for u it wud b around 4 am approx) do it for 2 weeks then reduse the frequency to alternate days then twice weekly
