Eczema keeping 2yo up at night and now wont sleep alone

My 2yo has bad eczema. My husband has it bad and my older dc had it but has grown out of it. Anyway I'm not really here for eczema advice as I'm doing what I can and know the score there (slowly getting on top of it) but

Its totally fucked her sleeping. Before lockdown it was mild and she slept through. Now she wakes herself scratching at midnight (or around then) and wont go back to sleep unless someone is in with her. She often screams for me so while dh tries to sleep with her I end up going through. Problem is I get so little sleep when in with her and it's really getting to me. She has to be snuggled right in and my lack of sleep is really getting to me. I just dont know how I'm ever going to get her to sleep through again. Shes in a double bed and if I try to leave her she just gets up and follows, usually screaming. I tried closing the door once but she screamed so bad and woke everyone. I did the whole sitting on a chair and moving thing when she was 9m but that wont work now shed just get up

What can I do? Even when I'm on top of the eczema now she is so used to waking and needs someone
