Safe, natural remedies for eczema?

My daughters all have eczema. My 2 older daughters manage with just lotion to calm the itching. But my 3rd daughter is just red and bumpy from top to bottom. I've resorted to putting mitts on her hands to keep her from scratching her face. Her pediatrician gave me samples of Eledil and a prescription for it. When I went to fill the script, the pharmacist told me he would never use it on his children because the risks outweighed the benefits, not to mention that my daughter is only 7 months. I was mortified when he told me that Eledil had a black box warning. Does anyone know of a safe way to stop the itching and scratching? I just hate watching her tear at her poor little face every day, and not be able to do anything to relieve it.
