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. I personally recommend Aveeno because it is oat-based and can help relieve itching. You can even go with a more oily agent like Aquaphor if needed. The cream should be applied whenever the need to scratch arises, among other things, there is no maximum number of times per day, it can be applied as often as needed. Use a non-scented soap, and after the bath or shower, avoid rubbing the skin vigorously: instead, lightly tap the skin to leave a thin layer of moisture, then apply the moisturizer quickly after getting out of the bath. In the absence of other symptoms, these measures are usually sufficient. I invite you to apply them and just monitor the situation. If the lesions persist for more than 14 days without improvement, I suggest consulting a doctor as a precaution. I hope I've been helpful, I'm available if you have any other questions!
