I am having an issue of eczema, it's a watery bump in my palm, fingers and between the fingers. This I am facing from 07th april 2020. Around 2 1/2 years ago, had same issue and my dermatologist has suggested zempred 16 mg tab. This time due to lighten, I am not able to go and see any doctor. So, I taught to take the same tablet but the chemist was not having zempred and he gave me alternative medrol 8 mg. I took medrol 8 mg for 3 days (twice a day) and medrol 16 mg 3 days (twice a day). Since I was taking this tablets, I found almost relief with the bumps. But 1 bump in small finger got poped and that didn't heal today and still watery distance coming from this and again bumps started in hands, palm and between the fingers. So, I have spoken with my known physician and he has suggested antibiotic megamentin 625 2 tablets a day for 3 days. But, no relief from the bump, moreover I think it has been increased now. So kindly suggest, should I again take steroid tab or some other to recover in eczema bumps.

Better to go for topical creams and avoid systemic side effects of steroids. If very severe only then oral steroids must be used. Also in case there is superadded infection antibiotics may also have to be used. Also from what you say you have, scabies is also a diffential diagnostic, and must be kept in mind. See a dermatologist again or consult me online.
