What symptoms are you having? You would need to describe the lesions to us in detail so that we may be able to help you. Have you consulted a skin specialist? Are you on any medications currently?
Apply calamine lotion at the site of the lesions and see if it helps. He could take some oral antihistamine medications like cetrizine or loratadine. He need to maintain a good personal hygiene . Wear lose comfortable clothes. Wash all your linen and towels etc with a disinfectant solution.
Anti-itch drugs, often antihistamine, may reduce the itch during a flare up of eczema, and the reduced scratching in turn reduces damage and irritation to the skin.
Nothing can be said with surety without having a look at the lesions. You would need to consult your doctor for a confirmed diagnosis after a clinical examination.
Let us know about how you are doing and if you need any other information.
Post us about what your doctor advises.
Regards.
