Give your washing machine a good clean out regularly just by turning it onto the hottest wash cycle, with no clothes in the machine and let it run its course. This should clear any leftover powder that end up in your rinse cycle and therefore your clothes rinse out the washing powder better afterwards. Becos washing detergent not rinsed out properly also is an irritant.
I have eczema the really bad on and what i use is Dove soap the one with no fragrance(white) and for lotion i use cetaphil moisturizing lotion ( green lable and says fragrance free non-comedogenic) you can get this from any store (Wal-mart). My doctor recomemded this to me and it really works. I get theh whole itchy dry flaky skin and this lotion and the dove soap do the work.
