Helpful Tips: Avoid long hot showers and harsh and drying cleansers. Apply fragrance-free moisturizer like Vanicream immediately after shower to damp skin. Reduce itch with OTC antihistamines like Zyrtec. For break-through itch, oral Benadryl (diphenhydramine) and/or Sarna lotion can be added. Irritating environmental factors should be avoided. Wintertime wreaks havoc on skin due to dry air. Try humidifier in bedroom.
