I don’t know what else you use on your skin but my husband who grew up with dreadful eczema was using lanolin to soften his skin - masses of it - when I met him. Turned out he was allergic to the lanolin and it was exacerbating the condition. As an outside chance could it be something like that that is causing your itch to return?
Try a little jar of organic Coconut oil cold pressed from supermarket. £2 in Asda. Otherwise I believe E45 cream could work?
I always find Aveena lotion and bath help me when I had an allergic reaction to leflunomide. Maybe it will help. Good luck
