I only have to deal with localized eczema flareups - when they happen they always start with small blisters forming on my middle or ring fingers, and was more frequent on my right hand. Probably very small compared to what you have to deal with, but when it first started happening over 20 years ago, it took some heavy steroid creams or ointments to control.

Over the years outbreaks have become less frequent, and now when I start to feel the tightness that would signal an upcoming outbreak can be alleviated with normal moisturizers and if it does get worse, it just requires frequent moisturizing rather than steroids.

As far as I can tell, over time the immune system continues to evolve. I can't promise the same will happen to you, but it is possible. Other allergies can be similar - especially generalized allergies - they seem to sometimes get worse or better without any real change in exposure to allergens.
