Itching

How do you control the itching? It is driving my crazy.

  1. Hi sugarie,

    This is a great question. Itch is certainly one of the most frustrating symptoms of AD, so you are not alone.

    There are several options available, from tracking your triggers, to treatments (both prescription and OTC), along with wet wrap therapy and other natural approaches. You might be interested in our piece about reducing the itch-scratch cycle, which offers some advice for ways to control itch: https://atopicdermatitis.net/reducing-itch/. I would encourage you to talk to your health care professional about pursuing these treatment options.

    I am hoping that you find relief soon! Please keep us posted on your progress.

    Best,
