What's recommended as a cure for my annoying atopic dermatitis?

Dry Skin Care: 1. Use a mild soap--dove 2. Shower or bathe no more than once daily 3. Do not rub the skin with a towel--dab. 4. Apply moisturizer while your skin is still a little moist. Oils and ointments are much better than creams. Creams are much better than lotions. Lotions are better than nothing. 4. Avoid clothing that irritates the skin--i.e. Wool 5. Use a mild detergent like ivory snow or all free.

Protect: Avoid things that make you break out, soaps & wetness. Wash your hands only when necessary. Wear gloves when needed. Wear clothes made of cotton. Bathe only with a small amount of mild unscented soap, such as dove. Keep the water temperature cool or warm, not hot. Use the medicine your doctor gave you. Use a plain moisturizer daily. Avoid scratching or rubbing the itchy area. Manage stress.
