Hello Mrs,
The basis of the treatment will be the hydration of the skin and other non-pharmacological measures:
  • A fragrance-free moisturizer such as Aveeno, Cutibase, Base Glaxal, Cerave and others should be applied as often as needed. The cream should be applied whenever the need to scratch arises, among others. You can even try an oily ointment like Aquaphor.
  • Avoid scented soaps, and after the bath or shower, avoid rubbing the skin vigorously: instead, lightly pat the skin to leave a thin layer of moisture, then apply the moisturizing cream within 5 minutes of getting out of the bath.
  • In cold weather, make sure your child wears gloves and that his or her neck and face are well protected (scarf, neck warmer).
If non-pharmacological measures are insufficient, you should consult a physician for a thorough evaluation of your child's needs.
I hope that I have been helpful to you and remain available if you have any further questions!
Tom Samaha, pharmacist
