Tepid baths: Begin by giving her tepid oatmeal baths several times a day. Give her anti itch medicine like one teaspoon four time daily. At night apply moist gauze bandages to the extremities during the day apply a steroidal ointment combining it with a moisturizer as a spreading agent. To avoid a steroidal effect Elidel (pimecrolimus) may be used. Seek help from a dermatologist.
