Better moisturizer: I am so sorry to hear this. It sounds like you need to work closely with your dermatologist to find a better topical regimen. In the meantime, adding a "physiologic" moisturizer - one that actually replenishes deficiencies that can occur with long time inflammation- will help. Look for ingredients that include "ceramides". Some options include cerave, cetaphil daily advance ultra hydrating.
