Eczema flare up on finger

Hi, I have used some nail glue and it touched my skin, resulting an eczema flare up on my finger. It’s swollen, red, hard, dry, itchy and now painful at night. I have had antibiotics and a cream from the GP, it gets better but then gets worse again. I have now have a large tub of barrier cream on. I’m planning to keep using that and covering it with a dressing to keep the moisture in. Any other tips?
