Recently when I was under a lot of stress at uni I got excema for the first time. It appeared on my hand quite suddenly and lasted a few months. It flared up when I ate greasy food, and I think things like meat and sugary pastry also affected it.
So my only advice really is a good diet. I put moisturiser on it when it looked really dry but I'm not sure that helped in the long term.

Most of it is not real. Dissipate its power by refusing to buy the emotion. Make fear your friend. Talk to it. Accommodate it as a helper and ally and most of your fear will change or disappear completely. - Stuart Wilde
