Eat good fat: Which may help lubricate your skin. That could be coconut oil and/or olive oil. About 3 tblsp. Daily. Avoid skin creams w/alcohol in them. Stick w/your doc. Peace and good health.

Get 2nd opinion: Eczema or atopic dermatitis is denoted by intense itching and not pain which is more suggestive of a vasculitis process (inflammation of blood vessel walls). You need to see another dermatologist.
