Is this eczema?

Last year I had ALOT of mosquito bites on my legs …(on holiday in Egypt) incredibly itchy and unsightly. They cleared up after a while then this year I had a few flea bites (de-flead the cats & house & no more bites) , & now that seems to have triggered a reaction & where I’d been bitten by the mosquitoes it’s all become very bumpy , dry and very very itchy.
I’m thinking this could now be eczema & the mosquitoe bites may have triggered it (I get Hayfever & mild asthma & know it’s all connected) Can anyone recommend shower gel , moisturiser & washing powder that may help calm the itching?

Not sure about shower gel and moisturiser but Neutrogena Sensitive Scalp (available in Boots) is good for the scalp and we use Lidl' non-bio. No reaction yet to either.

Thankyou. I’ll have a look at the Lidl washing powder.

Just wanted to add that I've been taking texofenadine this summer and for some of last summer abs I've had the best 2 summers in years for allergies.
