Skin thinning because of topical steroid use? (Eczema)?

I have had eczema my whole life. But the past couple years it has become very severe. I have tried everything under the sun to help it get better but nothing seems to help. And now on top of all my itching my skin is super thin because of all the topical steroids. It has even caused giant stretch marks. What is going to happen if I keep applying theses creams? No to mention they put my on oral steroids all the time. What else is going to happen to my body if this keep going? What have you done to help with your eczema? I have seen dermatologist after dermatologist and they have tried everything. My insurance won’t cover light therapy or protopic. I am desperate I will try anything to help. A few things that I have tried besides all the creams are bleach baths, oatmeal baths, dead sea salt soakings and tanning. Please if anyone has any suggestions let me know I am willing to do anything to get some relief from this itching.
