Hypoallergenic care: Changing to a fragrance and dye free laundry detergent, using hypoallergenic soaps and moisturizers such as Cetaphil, applying 1% hydrocortisone cream before bed may help diminish symptoms. Oral Benedryl or Zyrtec (cetirizine) can be added as well. Evidence of rash or insect bites should prompt a visit to a physician for evaluation.
