Moisture/antinflam: Atopic dermatitis is managed by reducing the tendency to scratch, which causes a flare, so reduce all forms of rubbing; cetaphil/ probiotics. If worse, consider low potency, short course (< 2 weeks/episode) topical steroids, Elidel (pimecrolimus) or Protopic for < 2 weeks/episode; atarax/ Benadryl q.I.D., p.O. Helps interrupt the scratch/itch cycle. Can try 2 tbs bleach in 1/2 tub--5 min guided soaking the body.

Dermatitis.: The World Health Organization categorized acupuncture for the treatment of neurodermatitis as "Diseases, symptoms or conditions for which the therapeutic effect of acupuncture has been shown but for which further proof is needed." REF: http://www.evidencebasedacupuncture.org/who-official-position/. Acupuncture via Major energy moving treatments or auricular treatments may be beneficial.
