Dear Zee
No you won't develop snake skin - eczema is hereditary and you can manage it but won't really be able to heal it - however it may help to avoid foods that make it worse, only wash your clothes in Sunlight soap ( the enzymes in washing powder irritates the skin) bath with UEA or Elizabeth anne baby shampoo instead of soap, use moisturizer liberally on the affected areas every 6 hours , take evening primrose oil supplements and put zinc ointment ( fissan paste) on a gauze on the skin areas that are broken and oozing.
