Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi.
As per your case history of atopic dermatitis, my treatment advice is -
1. Avoid using any new products like soap or perfume as it may worsen the condition.
2. Apply an emollient cream like Enmoist cream twice daily on affected skin. Regular application of emollient will prevent itching and burning sensation.
3. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetrizine twice daily for 7-10 days.
4. Other treatment options are oral antibiotics, oral steroid taken only after consulting a dermatologist.

Thanks.
