Good Skin Hygiene: Take quick showers (10-15min) in lukewarm water while avoiding harsh and drying cleansers. Pat away excess water and immediately apply fragrance-free moisturizer like Vanicream. Use at least twice a day. Treat itch with non-sedating antihistamines like Zyrtec (cetirizine) daily or prescription hydroxyzine at night. Lab work may need to be drawn to rule out other conditions: CBC/diff, liver function, thyroid.
