Hello! Thanks for using healthcaremagic.com I read carefully your question and understand your concern. I think you have atopic dermatitis. Some of the patients who visit my clinics have AD. No cure has been found for atopic dermatitis. But treatments and self-care measures can relieve itching and prevent new outbreaks. For example, it helps to avoid harsh soaps and other irritants, apply medicated creams or ointments, and moisturize your skin. It is best to use a non-soap cleanser because they are usually free of sodium lauryl sulfate. This chemical creates soap’s foaming action and can irritate skin. Examples of non-soap cleansers include Dove Sensitive Skin Unscented Beauty Bar, Aquaphor Gentle Wash, AVEENO Advanced Care Wash, Basis Sensitive Skin Bar, CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser, and Cetaphil Gentle Cleansing Bar. This is the general guidelines that my patients follows: Keep the skin well moisturized. If skin is dry apply emollient creams with cortisone or Vaseline. The use of oil baths can also be beneficial. Try to avoid the use of soaps. Soaps irritate and dry the skin. When washing, use only water. Limit the use of soaps to the axillary region, genital region, and feet. You can use soap substitutes - without detergent. If you should wash your hands often you should rinse them thoroughly then wash a small amount of hydrocortisone cream after washing. Avoid excessive heat. Most dermatitis patients show that heat and sweat worsen their eczema. It is convenient to use fresh clothes and be in places with air conditioning. Avoid direct contact with wool and heavy clothing Avoid anything that you think will aggravate the eczema, if you notice that any type of perfume, cream, makeup causes itching or irritation do not use them. Try to get accustomed to using the treatment routinely, the application of hydrocortisone creams can be done safely for a long time. You should try applying powerful corticosteroid creams only occasionally. The use of antihistamines with sedative and / or tranquilizing effects is often useful in the treatment of atopic dermatitis, however psychotherapy is usually not useful. i prescribe medications that decrease itching and can make it easier for patients to live normal.
