Suggest Treatment For Eczema And Severe Bacterial Infection

Hi I have had eczema almost all my life recently the past couple years I ve been getting it very badly where I get a bacterial infection. My skin smells like metal after scratching it. My skin flakes off. On my face and entire body. I feel like I ve tried it all with moisturizers and lotions my doctor has prescribed me a medication for the bacterial infection. But my skin is still super itchy and flaky. What else can I do?
